Some experiences in the sintering of iron ores
As part of a 2m. ton expansion project, the Tata Iron and Steel Company set up an ore-crushing and sintering plant to provide a sized ore plus sinter feed to the blast-furnaces. The sinter plant started operation in late 1959, and the experience gained as a result of plant operation as well as comprehensive laboratory tests is discussed in this paper as it focuses attention on some of the diffi-culties encountered in sintering hematite ore fines

A Framework for the Implementation of RFID Systems
There are an increasing number of organizations planning to implement Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems to enhance their competitiveness. Due to the novelty of the technology, many managerial challenges exist in determining and planning for the implementation of such systems. These challenges often lead to wasted efforts and resources, as well as to failed implementations. This paper presents a systematic and holistic RFID implementation framework which has been validated by both users and experts. The framework outlines the important tasks to be performed in each step of the implementation process. To enable practitioners to make informed go/no-go decisions, essential considerations of implementation are also discussed in this paper. Furthermore, the critical success factors for the deployment of such systems are also elaborated
