Miners have difficulty in meeting their targets - we help you to quickly exceed them.
HELPING MINERS MEET TARGETS QUICKLY
The Problem
Our clients face problems ranging from difficulty in achieving mandated operational results, to empowering employees to innovate and work safely. If the mine is under constant pressure to achieve its KPIs, employees are often stressed and disengaged. This can affect safety and will rob you of peace of mind.
We believe the root cause of stop-start workflow and missing of KPIs are due to mining departments being stuck in their silos.
We know from experience that when we unlock the potential in these silos the results are guaranteed.
The Stratflow Insight
The insight that we had was to realise that rather than trying to optimise every department or every component of the mine, we should look at the whole mine and find out how to create bottom-line value for the company. We can release the value in a matter of weeks without spending any money on CAPEX.
In the old days surgeons had to do open hart surgery where today keyhole surgery will do. Over 20 years we have developed TOC for mining, enabling us to go in and operate on only the parts that need fixing. This means that we have minimal impact on your day to day operations and don’t infest your mine with consultants.
Our Guarantee
We are so confident that you will meet your targets every month that we put a substantial proportion of our fees at risk.
