ABSTRACT.
Cost effective steel utilization as distinct from steel utilization is an engineering
challenge of our time, especially in this austere period. Steel scrap recovery
is defmitely one of the areas to be seriously looked into by Nigerian engineers.
After estimating the recoverable steel scrap to the year 200AD, this paper
aims at fmding an appropriate technology and size for steel scrap recovery bearing
in mind the need for self reliance and the level of our technological advancement.
Simple and friend ly analysis was conducted to look at various alternatives using
three industrial engineering techniques namely shortest route programme, linear
and decision analysis. The computer programmes written in BASIC language
and were run on a microcomputer. Small dispersed mi lls are highly favoured demanding the ingenuity of Nigerian engineers to make ti cost effective.
