Some reactions -bronze, brass and I think pewter, probably others- are currently divided into 'use bars' and 'use ore', which is a bit cumbersome if you're smelting one of the constituent ores for something else; I'm sure it's far from unheard of for bronxe production to grind to a halt frequently if the player is also using copper bars for something.
What I suggest is a system where we have something like REAGENT:A1, A2 etc. If there's none of the first reagent available then your dwarves select the next one. Priority should obviously go to ores, since one tends not to pre-smelt them if they're only going to be used for alloys, but if that runs out then they should start on the bars. This should cause the game to print a warning message.
