Mine Management system includes features and benefits ranging from reporting accurate operating information, precise positioning and machine guidance, to equipment health information and sophisticated automatic dispatching systems. Investment in mine-site technology to date has been dominated by the majors, however the smaller miners are following suit in areas such as mine management software and predictive maintenance which allows them to increase productivity and run their complex operations as efficiently as possible. Mine managers must be good communicators and have teamwork skills, because they regularly interact with other executives, mine staff and community residents. They also need to have strong interpersonal skills and leadership skills to effectively motivate staff to follow protocols and to work productively. Multitasking skills are important, because they may be dealing with several tasks at the same time, and they need organizational skills to make sure that all tasks are completed on schedule. These managers also benefit from having teaching skills, since they may need to provide training to employees. The purpose of this book is to make this experience and knowtedge available to everyone who has an interest in systematic mine management.
