Abstract
It is well known that ferromanganese alloys are used to help produce all types of steels. Manganese ore prices are closely associated with those of iron ore prices. The production of high quality ferromanganese has become increasingly important in the context of fluctuations in the iron ore price in global markets.
In appreciating the importance of benchmarking the various ferromanganese production practices worldwide have to be identified to develop methodological aspects. Firstly the standard production variables would be reconfirmed, and identify new ones given the various sophisticated production environments.
In other words, are there unique variables to specific production facilities? Secondly, appropriate benchmarking method(s) would be recommended given the production objectives in existence. Inductively, all the variables, both metallurgical and non- metallurgical would be condensed into concepts or particular benchmarking techniques.
