Some specific aspects of metallurgy consulting in the industrial transition of Bosnia and
Herzegovina are presented in this paper. The theoretical part of the paper is mostly concerned with
a short overview of ZELJEZARA ZENICA cum ARCELORMITTAL-ZENICA (AMZ) product-mix
and the facilities transition, as an example of the a.m. transition, although these parameters are
realistic in the practice. In the practical part, some judicial cases-pictures related to the plastic
deformation of the structures-facilities are presented, along with general proposals-solutions how
to overcome the problems related to an occurrence of plastic deformation of the a.m. structuresfacilities,
through proper mechanical maintenance, management, and consulting with renown
institutions. The figures supplied in the practical part express the significant extent of the plastic
deformations and are taken from the court expert judicial cases in different B&H companies. It may
be an incentive for the technical faculties and institutes in B&H to visit metal sector production
plants and offer their consulting services, in order to prevent the (dangerous) occurrence of plastic
deformation of the structures-facilities, which can lead to worker injuries, structure-machinery
breaks and to the un-planed stopping of normal production.
