PRODUCTIVE SURFACE MINE & MACHINE APPLICATION - FRONTLINE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM

This instructor lead, on-site training program is just what you need to enable your leadership with the tools they need to succeed.

Hard Skills Training: Performance Targeted

This course conveys focused, teachable knowledge sets that enhance management efficiency specific to an open-pit mine operation. Course delivery is provided on-site via live instruction. The course is targeted to help build Supervisory knowledge and centers on production effectiveness through direct, indirect, and peripheral influences. Training is tailored to a surface metal and non-metal mining operation.

Hard skills are specific, teachable abilities or knowledge sets that are often acquired through education, training, or work experience. They are typically technical and job-specific, and can be measured and proven through certifications, portfolios, or other objective means.

Production Theory

This chapter discusses the true path of production and the typical ways productions groups look at discrepancies in the required output. From bench turnover to planning the shift. In all it discusses the topics known to be the thieves of production that inexperienced leaders would not readily Identify.

Haul Road and Work Area Management

From correct road designs to drainage and maintenance the haul roads and work areas not only deplete productive tons. They can be silent killers to the machine health.

Production analysis

So much can be lost or found when production is looked at a bit closer than numbers. We discuss the tools and techniques to gauge effectiveness and get to the root cause of the production loss much quicker.

Cost of doing business

Not only the workers, but the frontline leaders don’t understand the cost impact to there decisions. Health events, maintenance, and operator involvement impact the success of the tons and the cost to obtain the tons. Success is measured in more than load count.
