This 2-day workshop will present a comprehensive a cradle-to-grave approach for leading mine equipment application , which is important for the efficient use of mining equipment in general. The course employs a systematic approach for selecting, planning, utilising, and replacing mining equipment, as well as a multidecisional framework for getting the most of a fleet of mining equipment. Finally, the training equips participants with the skills and resources they need to do NPV analysis, discounted cash flow analysis, and other relevant operating KPIs for maximising the value of a mining fleet
Participants will learn how to undertake comprehensive planning of mine equipment deployment by analysing all mining equipment interactions and looking for bottlenecks up or down the value chain. Participants will look at several types of scenarios that encompass all mining interactions and use hands-on techniques to optimise equipment selection in connection to successful mine design and planning. Participant would also explore other novel and non-typical mining equipment which may be more cost-effective is specific mining applications.
In order to fully realize the objectives of this course, attendees would at least have a reasonable understanding of basic data manipulation and graphical display tools and techniques commonly used in MS Excel environment. A basic grasp of mining and mineral industry terminology would be great but not essential.
