Root Cause Management

Diagnose underlying problems and errors in mining processes with root cause analysis

Home » Services » Performance Management » Performance Management » Root Cause Management

Overview

When an incident or problem occurs within mining processes, thorough investigations should be carried out to determine the root cause of the issue. By analyzing data, conducting interviews, and examining equipment or processes involved in the incident, targeted corrective actions can be implemented to prevent similar incidents in the future.

A common mistake is expecting leadership to resolve a symptom of an issue that appears in one area, but where the root cause actually lies in another. Instead of waiting for issues to arise before addressing them, implementing the right systems that address root causes will empower mine operators to respond to issues before they escalate, leading to longer equipment lifespan and improved overall performance.
