Quality assessment of metal production as an element of analysis of competitiveness of metallurgical enterprises

The quality of the finished product is one of the key indicators of enterprise competitiveness. The analysis of the quality of metallurgical enterprises is currently given sufficient attention. The main reason for the current situation is to strengthen the position in the metals market of substitute products, which are solid plastics. To improve the quality of metal products, it is necessary to solve not only technical and technological problems but also the development of effective tools for quality analysis within the overall assessment of the competitiveness of ferrous metallurgy enterprises. To solve this problem, it was proposed to rank the quality characteristics of metal products from the point of view of the 'anchor' buyers of a specific metal product. The scoring assessment of the quality of metal products offered in the framework of this article allows determining priority measures to improve its quality in order to increase competitiveness.
