Comprehensive Assessment
The first phase of OMS services is to provide a comprehensive assessment of the mining operation, in order to identify, quantify and prioritize improvement opportunities based on impact, effort, and timing. This assessment focuses on Fleet Management Systems (FMS), Equipment and Personnel Productivity and Safety, Equipment Utilization, and Equipment Availability. By analyzing these areas in a mining operation our consultants are able to spot inefficiencies and provide solutions to turn these mines into world-class operations.
Effective Use of Fleet Management System
Outliers Mining Solutions has fleet management system experts in all the major system suppliers. Our operational consulting and optimization team looks at the system configuration, network coverage, system hardware as well as the processes used to manage and support the mining process. We also assess how the dispatchers are operating the fleet management system, specifically the use of dynamic dispatch as this has tremendous potential to unlock additional capacity in the mining fleet through better haul truck allocation.
Equipment Utilization
This element of the comprehensive assessment looks at lost time of production equipment during the baseline period. Redesigning processes and better management of people and equipment reduces these delays and standby events and provides an opportunity to increase production without additional capital spend on equipment.
Operator Productivity
Through field observation and analyzing data from the baseline period, Outliers Mining Solutions assess the performance of equipment operators for trucks, shovel, loaders and drills. Identifying the best performing operators and those who need additional training reduces the variability between operators and increase the overall productivity of your fleet.
