Case Study: a mining company improves mine site availability and productivity with Maine Pointe

Mining Company boosts mine restoration production to record levels with Maine Pointe

A mining company faced significant delays, over a year behind schedule, in a major mine site restoration project due to labor shortages, planning issues, and low equipment availability and utilization from its contracted bulk earth moving company. The frustrated customer engaged Maine Pointe for its mining expertise and on-the-ground management to help turn the situation around.

Maine Pointe implemented a solution that improved asset availability and maintenance schedules, created a detailed plan by configuring the critical path, and improved stakeholder relationships. This resulted in equipment availability, utilization, and productivity soaring. By establishing a Management Operating System and working closely with all stakeholders, Maine Pointe set the project on a strong path forward, raised production to record levels, and brought the end date significantly closer without compromising safety.
