Improvement Opportunities and Special Focus Areas AAC and HZL management teams focusing on improving the utilization of equipment , downtime and availability. AAC trainer to continue developing national operators into a multi skilled workforce, mitigating operational impacts. Continued QA/QC management between HEMM, OEM’s and AAC regarding maintenance scheduling, damages and downtime impacts against operations. SOP completion will be monitored and implemented as opportunities arise in between operational needs and HZL safety pillar training sessions. Maximising the use of LF600 agitators for delivery of shotcrete (increased capacity).

Improvements Tracking of Jumbo plods to identify impacts on utilisation of drills. Dedicated mining engineer tracking and analysing utilisation of every piece of equipment. Allocation of operators to specific rigs to improve utilization and availability of drill rigs. Identifying the best way to control unauthorised absenteeism. Hot seating of equipment during shift change over. Loader and shotcrete support for development targeted to reduce impacts. Mentoring/ coaching of our engineers to identify processes for best utilization of available resources.

Kaizen Projects Sr.No. Project Name Status 1 Stand for diesel filling in CAT trucks Completed 2 Stand for spanners 3 Rusted bolt thread cleaner 4 New support for paste Polly pipe

Stand for Diesel Filling in CAT Trucks Problem Statement:- The height of diesel filling point in CAT truck are high. Solution :- To over come this problem new stand was fabricated on which person can stand and fill the diesel. Stand for Diesel Filling in CAT Trucks

Spanner Stand Problem Statement:- The spanner stored in a common box so it become difficult to find the right spanner easily. Solution :- New spanner stand was fabricated in which each spanner has its on place.

Rusted bolt thread cleaner Problem Statement:- Due to underground environment the bolt thread to much rusted. Solution :- To clean the thread of bolt new cleaner fabricated for bolt size 12,16,20,24,36mm. Rusted bolt thread cleaner

New Support for Paste Polly Pipe Problem Statement:- The support installation for paste line taking too much time and after installation vibration remain. Solution :- The new design of paste line support take less time and reduce vibration in line. New Support for Paste Polly Pipe
