Effective long-term planning can enhance the value of a business by 5% – 35% or significantly more. This course details an optimisation methodology that involves ten distinct mechanisms, which when applied simultaneously can produce counterintuitive results that challenge conventional thinking on how to run a mining and mineral processing business. Covering the latest developments in optimisation methods, the subjects span mine design and scheduling, cut-off grades and stockpiling, plant configuration, product specification, logistics and capital scaling, a comprehensive approach to managing risk and uncertainty, strategic optimisation and modelling techniques, theory of constraints, advanced cost modelling and implementation/change-management issues.
This course will permanently change the way you look at your mining business. It is relevant to all decision makers including senior executives, directors and department, divisional or project managers, as well as professionals who are currently or will be involved in the technical aspects of optimisation analysis. (This is not a software course.) It is relevant to geologists, mining engineers, process engineers and metallurgists, logistics, marketing, finance and HR managers – as it shows how these disciplines can take the economic view of the business and coordinate their activities to extract value that is currently concealed between the organisational silos that the
management structure creates.
