Kay Sever, CQIA – President, OptimiZ Consulting LLC
Mining companies are forfeiting millions of dollars in lost margin because they are missing opportunities to:
- Run when they could be running.
- Manage delays and downtime to maximize uptime (operations and maintenance).
- Run smart to avoid cost, prevent problems, keep processes in control, and meet quality specs.
- Avoid or postpone expansion capital by finding and managing hidden equipment capacity.
- Recognize opportunity in recurring problems and barriers that prevent change.
Kay will help you improve your performance through a systematic focus on LOST OPPORTUNITY and BARRIER REMOVAL. You will be able to prioritize which opportunities to go after first so that you are working on the right things:
- Hidden equipment capacity (availability and utilization).
- Poor product quality
- Excess costs
- Lost profit margin (related to lost tons, pounds, ounces, etc.)
- Avoidance of unneeded expansion capital
- Poor working relationships between departments
- Communication voids or breakdowns.
Process changes can be implemented and sustained if organizational or cultural barriers are removed.
Kay will help you remove the barriers that prevent honest discussions about “what’s not working” so that you can fix the problems that are stealing the most value. This work:
- Improves morale.
- Encourages employee involvement
- Helps employees see “problems as opportunities”
- Builds trust with management
- Enables management teams to execute their processes in a way that creates value,
removes barriers, sustains improvement and drives real culture change.
