What is Lean mining?

Page 3: Lean Mining - Bergforskbergforsk.se/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/ghodrati_kumar.pdf · “LEAN MINING PRACTICES ” brings effectiveness & efficiency in operation by eliminating uncertainty

“LEAN MINING PRACTICES ” brings

effectiveness & efficiency in operation by

eliminating uncertainty that often leads

to wastage of resources:

Those similarities bring an opportunity to successfully apply lean principle into mining industry.

In contrast to innovation approach which emphasize on a quick improvement/change, lean principle is a continuous improvement approach which emphasize on a small but constant improvements.

In contrast to innovation approach which emphasize on a quick improvements or STEP CHANGES, lean principle is a continuous improvement approach which emphasize on a small but constant improvements.

One approach to apply the lean principle in mining industry is to apply the

concept of Overall Production Effectiveness to eliminate waste and

increase the operational reliability, production quality and performance

through engagement of all personnel.

Production assurance concept

Page 9: Lean Mining - Bergforskbergforsk.se/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/ghodrati_kumar.pdf · “LEAN MINING PRACTICES ” brings effectiveness & efficiency in operation by eliminating uncertainty

1.1 WHAT IT IS ?

• Production assurance models describe to what extent a system is capable of meeting demand for deliveries.

Page 10: Lean Mining - Bergforskbergforsk.se/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/ghodrati_kumar.pdf · “LEAN MINING PRACTICES ” brings effectiveness & efficiency in operation by eliminating uncertainty

•Uncertainty in operation is the main cause for delays, customer dissatisfaction and other waste of resources.

Models are being developed & Tested to make correct decision

in order to meet customers’ requirements in term of volume

and quality at short notices.

HOW?

Page 12: Lean Mining - Bergforskbergforsk.se/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/ghodrati_kumar.pdf · “LEAN MINING PRACTICES ” brings effectiveness & efficiency in operation by eliminating uncertainty

The PA concept includes several other concepts such as

reliability, maintainability, availability, supportability, capacity.

Production Assurance (PA) 1.2

Page 13: Lean Mining - Bergforskbergforsk.se/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/ghodrati_kumar.pdf · “LEAN MINING PRACTICES ” brings effectiveness & efficiency in operation by eliminating uncertainty

PA can be described and calculated by combinations of capacity performance and system availability performance for period of (t1, t2)

Production Assurance – Case study

Consider a simple numerical example of a transportation unit of an underground mine producing iron ore; it consists of three LHD which can be configured as a parallel system:

LHD 1

LHD 2

LHD 3

Page 15: Lean Mining - Bergforskbergforsk.se/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/ghodrati_kumar.pdf · “LEAN MINING PRACTICES ” brings effectiveness & efficiency in operation by eliminating uncertainty

The failure of LHDs which consists of different and several components follows Poisson distribution.

In this case, the reliability of transportation system (LHD fleet) at time t is:

Where,

Page 16: Lean Mining - Bergforskbergforsk.se/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/ghodrati_kumar.pdf · “LEAN MINING PRACTICES ” brings effectiveness & efficiency in operation by eliminating uncertainty

Each LHD is assumed to have a throughput capacity of either full (c) or 0. Therefore, the possible capacity performance levels for transportation unit are thus 3c, 2c, c, and 0.

The planned production rate for transportation unit is: 11250 ton/day

The Markov diagram for three LHDs in parallel is:

3 Remaining Useful Life (RUL) The remaining useful life (RUL) of the unit indicates its ability and length of surviving in operation in the future.

RUL is estimated based on the physics of the failure and statistical analysis.
