Resumo
The introduction of the concept of assured quality and of the ISO 9000 standards in the mining and metallurgy industry demands deep changes in the procedures and attitudes of people involved in the production process. Materials handling operations are specially affected, as the blending of raw materials and the homogenization of plant feed and products become essential to achieve the quality standards for the final product. The quality assurance procedures must start with the mining geology and affect the entire production process. Good practices are described, as well as project hints. Practical experience with blending, stockpiling, and moisture control of final products is discussed. Environmental care is part of the new vision, along with community engagement for new projects. The modern mining/metallurgical professional must be prepared to face the new reality — he must be able to discuss and defend his project. The design of the mining and metallurgical facilities must also receive a different approach.
