The optimal exploitation of non-renewable mineral resources not only requires highly skilled individuals in the fields of engineering, science, economics and life sciences but it also needs individuals that can integrate these functions along with the inherent characteristics of the ore and ore body and the final product or market requirements. The total value-chain of activities needs to be synchronised through the application of systemic relationships.

The short course in Mineral Resource Throughput Management (MRTM) assists you with the integration and synchronisation process and to transform your operations into highly effective and competitive businesses. An end-to-end mining value chain management and optimisation approach (key-value driver focused) yield significant benefits for the mining operations and the communities to develop high performance and productivity culture. This approach also enables mining operators to extend their life of mine (LOM), which in turn prolongs their contribution to South Africa’s economy and sustainable job creation.

During the course, you will be equipped with skills to use MRTM principles to address the complex challenges and demands associated with the mining environment.

MRTM1C01 Mineral Resource Throughput Management Introduction

Definitions and frame of reference in context of mining disciplines.

Introduce delegates to the different functional disciplines through an overview of the important principles of Mineral Resource Throughput Management in strategic, tactical and operational environments in respect of Narrow Reef (NR) mining, each in the different functional areas. The functional areas include geology, mining, beneficiation, marketing, finance, human resources, plant maintenance, planning and scheduling, budgeting, maintenance and supporting processes.

2 days

MRTM1C02 Virtual Mining Simulation and Optimisation

This theme covers the compilation/design of a mining production value chain and to do a capacity constraint resource CCR) analysis, as well as a design of the exploitation and subordination measurement and management rules and protocols. Cost and production simulation model based on the total production process (reserve to market). The simulation model will incorporate relevant variables and dependencies in a systemic flow-based manner.

MRTM1C03 Introduce delegates to several different MRTM/TOC flow model solutions through an overview of the important project implementation principles of MRTM/TOC in strategic, tactical and operational environments. There will be emphasis on synchronization and sub-ordination in respect of the different functional areas in the value chain, such as: geology, mining, beneficiation, marketing, finance, human resources, plant maintenance, planning and scheduling, budgeting, maintenance and supporting processes.

Learning outcomes

After successfully completing the course, you will • develop an adequate level of understanding of the functional

areas and the interdependencies between functional areas present in the production environment with specific emphasis on product production, product quality (payability), income, costs and market demand.

• be able to identify the CCRs of a mining value chain system. You will also be able to apply simulation models in the management and control environment. The simulation software will be provided during the training course but the free license will be cancelled within a month their after.

• be able to apply the systemic throughput principles of Theory of Constraints (TOC) and systemic throughput Mineral Resource Throughput Management (MRTM) to create a high performance culture within your specific commodity of interest and business value chain. .

Who should enrol?

This course is ideal for you if you are a mining engineer, metallurgist, geologist, mining financial, industrial engineer, surveyor, mine overseer or a technical specialist.

“This course has had a very high impact on me and my ability to better understand the entire picture … this is very important for each person, particularly in sales, to gain the needed understanding of mining. Thank you for affording me the opportunity to attend this course. It was incredibly interesting and has vastly improved my understanding of so many areas of our business.”
