Short term quality and grade control is a never ending process. Ever increasing customer requirements and the business need for optimising resource allocation to meet these requirements poses a serious challenge. Grade controllers need supply chain visibility to initially plan product and blend grades, track actual and re-forecasted performance and also react to the unplanned events that form part of daily operations life.
QMASTOR provide an integrated approach to day-to-day quality and grade control. This includes:
- Integration to mine planning and geological modeling systems for initial pit grades for multiple working sections or blocks.
- Visibility of actual and forecast material movements, all associated sample analysis and resultant stockpile grade balances.
- Integration to laboratory service provider systems for automated data collection.
- Visibility of every customer consignments contract quality requirements including any associated quality penalty/bonus conditions.
- The use of internal stockpile specifications and operational targets.
- Blend calculation tools that utilise data from the many other relevant modules for automating the blend calculation workflow.
- Tracking of actual and dynamically re-forecasted performance against blend plans as actual results come to hand.
Quality/Grade controllers utilising QMASTOR solutions can:
- Deliver consistent product to customers. QMASTOR delivers the supply chain visibility, alerts and notifications to grade controllers to indicate when actual or predicted stockpile grades are varying from blend plans and specifications. By utilising a proactive, integrated approach, you too can be in control and deliver consistency to your customers.
- Optimise resource allocation. QMASTOR solutions provide confidence by being able to accurately track and forecast bulk commodity movements and stockpiling. Contract penalty bonus and supply chain cost data is available as a key input to decision making to ensure the monetary impact of alternative options is understood. This ensures that contract specifications are achieved without giving away too much high grade material and substituting lower grade materials where at all possible.
- Provide clear material movement instructions. QMASTOR simplifies the role performed by grade controllers by communicating the results of their blend and production planning through flexible material movement instruction reporting.
- Be efficient. Automate capture of weights and analyses, mine plan and geological data and more. By having all of the necessary detail in an integrated system, the grade control workflow is significantly reduced compared to common spreadsheet based methods.
These are just a few of QMASTOR’s capabilities. Learn more about our solutions for: blend management, contract management, transportation, stockpile and inventory management, process plant management, planning & scheduling, systems integration.
