Stratflow's Flow Room is a central component of our unique Productivity Platform, specifically designed to help mining operations achieve significant, sustainable improvements in production, safety, and cost-efficiency. It's more than just a meeting space; it's the operational heart where strategy meets action, driving breakthrough results.  

​

How the Flow Room Transforms Mining Operations:

• Focused Improvement: Unlike traditional "War Rooms" that can overwhelm with data, the Flow Room uses the principles of the Theory of Constraints (TOC) to focus efforts on the one critical constraint limiting your mine's overall output. By managing this bottleneck effectively, we unlock hidden capacity and optimize the entire production flow.  

• Real-Time Visual Management: The Flow Room provides a clear, real-time visual overview of critical operations, focusing on bottleneck performance and protective buffers. Color-coded indicators allow for rapid understanding and immediate identification of areas needing attention, enabling faster, smarter decisions.  

• Enhanced Collaboration: By bringing together heads of departments, managers, and key employees daily, the Flow Room breaks down silos and fosters cross-functional teamwork. Incorporating Dialogic Organisation Development principles enhances communication, shared understanding, and employee engagement, which is crucial for sustained performance.  

• Proactive Problem Solving: The system provides early warning signals, allowing teams to proactively address potential issues before they impact production or safety. Strategic buffers absorb operational variability, creating smoother, more predictable workflows.  

• Agility and Continuous Improvement: The Flow Room enhances the agility of your existing management systems, enabling rapid responses to dynamic mining conditions. Continuous monitoring and rapid feedback loops create a culture of ongoing improvement.  ​

 

Proven Results:

Stratflow's approach consistently delivers remarkable outcomes:  

• Production Increases: Typically 10% to 40%, often without major capital expenditure. Some mines have exceeded design capacity significantly.  

• Cost Reductions: Operating cost reductions of 10% to 30% are common.  

• Improved Safety & Engagement: Systems thinking inherently boosts safety, and the collaborative Flow Room environment significantly enhances employee engagement and morale.  ​

Achieve "Superflow in a Spirit of Calmness"

The Flow Room helps create a state of highly productive, stable, and predictable operations, managed proactively rather than reactively – what we call "superflow in a spirit of calmness".
