Creating New Processes for New or Existing Operations
In specifying new processes, our emphasis is on the quality of interdepartmental or shift hand-offs (hand-offs are the most frequent cause of delays, rework, and losses). We use MS4Mine for effective process design and technology specifications that can be sustained.
Our experience and scope include:
Production: Drilling/Blasting, Dragline, Loading, Hauling, Fueling, Longwalls, Belts, Coal Haulage/Loadout, Preparation Plant, Grinding Flotation, Tailings, Smelting, Refining, Pelletizing
Maintenance: Workshop, Warehouse, Purchasing Partnerships
Support Functions: Engineering, Laboratories, Marketing, Accounting, Contract Management, Environmental, HR, Customer/ Supplier Relationships
Our joint objectives include:
A new operation requires hundreds of new processes that enable people to connect with equipment and each other to maximize performance. When designing a new process it is important to "engineer out' potential barriers that will prevent an optimum process flow and execution. These barriers (often caused by beliefs and behaviors of people) must be removed in order to prevent lost production and millions of dollars in lost margin.
MS4Mine helps your new operation identify necessary process steps, in the context of other departments and high-quality hand-offs and communications between departments. A lack of either one causes costly delays, rework, and production losses that may never be measured.
MS4Mine & Joint Application Design
The JAD process includes approaches for enhancing user participation, expediting delivery and improving the quality of specifications. With the MS4Mine mining templates time lines are reduced, thus reducing leadtime to solutions. The core steps followed and supported by superior visualisation are:
Identifying project objectives and limitations
Identifying critical success factors
Defining project deliverables
Defining the schedule of workshop activities
Selecting the participants
Preparing the workshop material
Organizing workshop activities and exercises
Preparing, informing, educating the workshop participants
