International miner successfully executed a US$12m processing plant upgrade
Engaged to manage the planning, readiness and execution of a major maintenance shut on behalf of an international coal producer in rural/remote Southern Africa. This was a business critical event and not meeting objectives would have resulted in major losses.

- Planning and execution was driven by a short interval control process and daily visual board sessions to ascertain status and plan/execute corrective actions
