Assessing industry needs - benchmarking of underground and surface mining operations initiative |
GMG members have expressed interest in benchmarking – an advanced method of performance improvement that requires operations to have an understanding of current performance and an eye to continuous improvement. Comparing your performance metrics against those of industry leaders gives you insight into best practices that can help your operation meet its objectives. GMG is currently assessing the industry’s interest and needs for such a program.
Context
Two key factors have led to GMG considering this initiative at this time: 1) the SMART Benchmarking program, which allows participants to upload data from a wide range of equipment on a continuous basis is now under GMG and 2) the recently released GMG Guideline, A Standardized Time Classification Framework for Mobile Equipment in Surface Mining, provides a basis for consistent classification of mining activities and events to enable performance comparison.
Assessing your needs
The results of this survey will serve as the basis for determining the scope and strategy of the initiative.
Your responses will be anonymous and your contact information will be for internal use only.
