Abstract: In the paper there are summarized basic analytical and empirical pieces of knowledge on searching dependences of the influence of thermal process during steel casting in the continuous casting of semi-finished products – slabs, on their quality assessment and as well the influence of thermal processes on the quality of final products rolled of slabs. The course of thermal processes at continuous steel casting has the significant impact on the quality of slabs. [..] Read more

Abstract: The resilient supplier management is a crucial part of the resilient supply chain management. The topic becomes very urgent due to the increasing number of disruptions, which appears in today’s global and turbulent business environment. [..] Read more

Abstract: Due to the constant growth of the copper industry, the increase in production costs and complexity in the composition of the feed of the production processes that make up the industry, the analysis of alternatives that improve efficiency by studying the dynamics of the processes represents a significant cost reduction. Then, the generation of analytical models that represent the dynamic behaviour of production processes has the potential to contribute to generating a better understanding of the operating parameters that have a greater impact on the response (s), in addition to identifying operating restrictions and optimal levels of operation.

Abstract: Sustainable development goals (SDGs) adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015 provide an opportunity for the metallurgical and mining industry to create value for both their business and society. The aim of the paper is to analyze the SDGs preferences in the metallurgical and mining industry and identify those SDGs that companies from that industry promised to follow. [..] Read more

Abstract: Basicity is one of the key chemical criteria in evaluating the properties of ore raw materials. The alkaline character of the blast furnace charge affects the efficiency of the iron production process in the blast furnace. [..] Read more

Abstract: This paper deals with the optimization of storage and retrieval operations in the expedition warehouse of the metallurgical company. First, the problem of warehouse management in the metallurgical industry is defined. [..] Read more

Abstract: The article deals with the issue of technological thinking in the process of material security of supply chains of a selected group of products in the field of metallurgical secondary production. The commercial potential of this distribution, redistribution of low-carbon wire products and low-carbon materials from metallurgical secondary production, which is redistributed over long distances from the place of production to the place of consumption with the necessary requirements to control incoming materials into production and subsequent final processing.

Abstract: Appropriate maintenance of machinery and production equipment allows for smooth production, eliminates downtime related to failures, improves work safety and improves the productivity of an enterprise. Well-functioning machines allow for production of high-quality products. [..] Read more

Abstract: This article addresses the problem of supply chain management in the foundry industry. In the case of manufacturing companies assisting in the production process by external entities, it is important to consider cooperation starting from the settlement of raw materials or semi-finished products to the acceptance of production from a subcontractor along with the registration of the costs of service, transport and storage. [..] Read more

Abstract: Metal foundry, despite the progressing process of implementing new production technologies - still belongs to the fields characterized by a significant level of occupational risk. In metal foundries there is a significant concentration of harmful and arduous factors at many workplaces. [..] Read more

Abstract: Based on the collaborative management theory of green supply chain, the aim of this paper is to establish the evaluation index system of coordination effect of steel enterprise green supply chain management from two aspects of economic performance and green performance. It selects Baosteel as the research object, evaluates the collaborative management of green supply chain by means of catastrophe progression method and coupling coordination degree model, and analyses the relevant data of enterprises from 2010 to 2019 Management level and the synergistic effect of green performance development. [..] Read more

Abstract: The transition of the most developed countries’ societies to a new phase based primarily on the creation, dissemination and use of knowledge, i.e. innovative development, has become a typical feature of modern economies. [..] Read more

Abstract: The article presents a statistical approach to the results of non-conformities of steel round bars over 12 months. Basic statistical measures, Pareto-Lorenz diagram, histograms, box plot, picture charts as well as correlation analysis were used to present the distribution of data regarding the number of non-conformities and dependencies in the analyzed data in a system according to the type of non-conformities found and in the time system - according to the examined months. [..] Read more

Abstract: Blast furnace process is the basic process of pig iron production. This kind of device has a very large volume, so every day it produces significant quantities of the products. [..] Read more

Abstract: The article presents the results of a study of project managers involved in improving teams at an international industrial enterprise. The enterprise mass produces and customises metal parts for the transportation industry. [..] Read more

Abstract: In the paper customer preferences regarding copper wires were determined, special attention to the technical characteristics of wires were focused, that would meet customer expectations. To build a quality house, information from direct production employees as well as technologists and constructors were used. [..] Read more

Abstract: The purpose of the conducted tests was to apply an integrally configured method of quality control of the condition of modified helicopter gearbox housing castings. The use of this innovative method (consisting of the following techniques: Pareto-Lorenz diagram, Ishikawa diagram and 5WHY method?). [..] Read more

Abstract: Jigless robot welding is one of the most demanding disciplines in the automation industry. Jigless processes offer significant benefits by reducing the cost of custom tooling and providing flexibility to process part variations with low batch sizes but make high demands on robotics and the know-how of suppliers and users. [..] Read more

Abstract: The article deals with using computational method and digital filters in power grid quality analysis in metallurgical industry. Almost all of metallurgical factories using large engines, arc furnace, induction heating and so on. [..] Read more

Abstract: This article aims to present different perspectives and their respective advantages in the area of research and development cost integration in an enterprise using a calculation system based on the ABC method and choose optimum implementation the costs research and development. Research and development costs in industrial enterprises are often recorded for the reason of tax breaks secured by valid legislation. [..] Read more
