Creating a world-class asset management, maintenance, and equipment reliability program at a mine site is an ambitious goal. Do you have an asset performance management system that enables predictive analytics? Is your mine site taking advantage of a fully digital maintenance department?

The mining industry has many intrinsic characteristics. We often work in remote environments, following some form of mine-to-mill process, with plenty of technical knowledge among the operations and maintenance teams. Let’s discuss the five key stages of mine site project management that can turn opportunities into results.

The trap mine dispatchers frequently encounter is leadership fixating on certain KPIs without creating a broader understanding of operating philosophy and what drives production.

With the full range of Outliers Mining Solutions’ tools and programs, our team helps mine sites break down the mining process and drive engagement to influence performance, optimization, and results.

Successful implementations of Operator Scorecards allow for the operation to establish a culture of performance management and expectation.

Outliers Mining Solutions is committed to keeping sustainable environmental, social, and governance practices front of mind.

Integrated Operations Centres gather information from data sources across the mining operation, analyzes it, and sends back actionable intel to the real decision-makers.

In addition to the coaching of front-line Supervisors, the OMS Lead program teaches leadership skills to Mining Managers and Superintendents.

Outliers Mining Solutions promotes a Time Usage Model equally applicable to fixed and mobile assets operating on the surface or underground.

During an engagement at an Underground Base Metal Mine in Western Canada, it was found the operation had limited daily reporting on critical measures, which resulted in a lack of understanding of how the mine, crews, and individual operators were performing.

In 2016, Outliers Mining Solutions delivered a Lean Six Sigma Green Belt program at a partner Gold Mining Operation in Canada.

When a site is undergoing change or growth, a question hiring managers need to consider is: 'Would a contractor be a better fit for this role in your company than a permanent employee?'
