INTRODUCTION - ALUMINUM INGOT SECONDARY EURASIA REPORT 

This is an entry level product which provides users with commercial intelligence on Aluminum Ingot Secondary markets and industries in 4 Eurasian countries. The report analyses the Eurasian markets for Aluminum Ingot Secondary from a basic point of reference, namely the base country selected by the reader. It is for this reason that reports are generated for each base country. The report is formatted to give both a narrative description ( 1913 pages) of the various matters covered as well as provide readers with the ability to directly use the Chapters (via Microsoft Word or compatible word processors) to produce their own reports and documentation.  Experienced users will be able to use the spreadsheet and databases to generate highly detailed narrative reports, charts and graphics - as well as sophisticated business and commercial forecasts and models. The databases are provided in both Excel spreadsheets ( 3955) and an Access database tables ( 4047). Explanatory notes are provided as word processor documents or in PDF formats.

As an entry level product the narrative is necessarily illustrative in its terminology and seeks to provide a basic degree of business logic and theory which indicates the rational applied in the forecasting and modelling methodology.

The Aluminum Ingot Secondary databases provided are specifically designed to provide users with a uniform and consistent numeric measure of both (normally) quantifiable values as well as conceptual factors which are (usually) only capable of qualification. Experienced users will know how to apply forecasting and modelling software to the numeric data provided to generate highly detailed and discrete business planning models. The databases provided in this report can be used directly with databases on other product, markets and industries in other countries. The databases are specifically designed to be trans-national, currency neutral, inflation and purchasing parity adjusted, product parity and product equivalent adjusted, opportunity cost adjusted, and numerically compatible; they all can be linked or merged programmatically in business planning models to provide multi-national and multi-level analysis.

Before using the data provided please read the Database Introduction as well as the Notes and Definitions links found in each Chapter. There are subtle statistical nuances to some of the spreadsheets and databases which will help the user to fine-tune their models and forecasts to obtain maximum effect and greater accuracy. The database flow chart and database description should be consulted when applying statistical and modelling software.

DATABASE NOTE When clients buy a report they are ordering the generation of a database from which the client's final report is produced. DataGroup will output them widest possible database so that the client will have the best possible opportunity to obtain all the information they will need - both in terms of the first report printout and thereafter and subsequent After-Sales Service work. The reports are produced by computer using entirely computerised databases and thus any report is usually a 'slice' or 'extract' of more than one database. Obviously if the first print requires refining then it is a fairly easy process for clients to order as many re-runs of the database as they need. This is done at a small cost as part of the normal After-Sales Service. DataGroup reserve the right to output comparable data if the product or market specifications have changed or the market definitions have altered or the terminology used in the market-place has changed. DataGroup will generate FREE OF CHARGE further database reports in the event of computer or printer error; however no liability is accepted in respect of database, computer or printer errors. DataGroup reserve the right to change or amend the contents of reports and databases without prior notice. All order are accepted strictly under the Standard Terms and Conditions of Sale. CONFIDENTIALITY Clients will not be identified to third parties as being buyers of DataGroup products and no information regarding clients are ever disclosed to third parties. DataGroup do not publish client a reference list of clients. TERMS Your dealer will obtain from DataGroup the databases necessary to output the report and these will be produced on the instructions of, and on behalf of, the Client. Dealers are the agents of, an act solely on the instructions, and on behalf of, their client. No responsibility is accepted for the contents of databases or reports nor are any warranties made in respect of these products.
