As the leading mining consultants, Whittle Consulting has identified the top 15 Objectives and Outcomes that drive our clients to implement mining optimisation generally, and Whittle Integrated Strategic Mine Planning, in particular. One of these objectives is to improve their ability to design management processes and systems for their mining project or operation. Let’s explore this objective in detail.

9. Design management processes & systems

• Operational data structure
• Cost accounting design
• Management reporting
• Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
• Targets
• Incentives

Outcomes:

Budgets, targets, reporting, KPIs and performance measurements must be aligned to the strategy of the mining business. Whittle Integrated Strategic Mine Planning will identify the key drivers of value for mining projects and operations. This understanding should therefore dictate the content and format of the operational data, cost accounting and management reporting systems. If the management culture is one of value creation, then a consistent mine planning framework between all the management mechanisms is essential. There is no use having the right strategy if you do not execute it.
