What’s Causing Your Mine to Miss Targets, even with the Right People and Equipment? 

A mining operation was consistently missing daily production targets despite sufficient equipment availability and trained personnel. Downtime was rising, shift handovers were inconsistent, and mid-shift task changes were creating confusion. On deeper assessment, it was clear there was no standardized process for shift planning, task assignment, or status tracking. Supervisors were relying on spreadsheets, whiteboards, and verbal communication. The result? Delayed starts, task overlaps, and reactive management throughout the day.
