In underground mining operations, the weekly production schedule is divided into days, shifts and hours for detailed planning and scheduling of resources. Although seemingly simple at first, the coordination between weekly production schedule and production execution is one of the top challenges in mines and has a direct impact on operational efficiency and costs. This presentation is a practical demonstration of how an innovative Operations Management System integrates Short Interval Control and Closed Loop Scheduling into the same digital platform and effectively closes the loop between mine short-term planning and real-time mine operation. Results are measured in operations efficiency – balanced use of equipment, personnel and material resources, productivity – maximized operational output – smart meters/tones, adherence – mine production planned vs executed, reaction time – improved responsiveness to unplanned events and transparency – increased operational awareness throughout all the mine activities.
