Increased Mining Efficiencies

A client in the mining industry set out to improve the performance of one of their vessels. Their objective was clear: increase mining time utilisation from 68% to 78%. The client realised that to achieve maximum potential, staff participation was of critical importance. They partnered with Exceed to develop their people.

Over a period of 14 months, the mining vessel exceeded the target and achieved an actual mining utilisation average of 84%. The financial impact of this improvement on the client’s bottom line result was an added revenue contribution exceeding US $ 9,300,000!

Exceed coaches worked with the offshore crew to achieve business targets and develop ownership of their roles, and to embed management and leadership capabilities and build a high performance culture.

The Exceed team applied a Breakthrough Performance (BTP) approach to repetitive projects (e.g. the shutdown maintenance cycle), deployed continuous production principles to plant operations and implemented a rigorous learning process. The Exceed team also rolled out a team development initiative and individual leadership skills coaching program to develop a high-performance team culture.
