Schedule-driven design control

Keep your design stocks ahead of the mine plan.

mineplan.IQ reads your mine schedule, works out the plans each activity needs, and counts every one back from the date the work is planned to start. You see what's ready, what's late and what's holding it.

Plans required

Every activity knows the plans it needs.

Tell mineplan.IQ once which milestones each kind of work needs, how far ahead each one is due, and which date that work counts back from: a drill plan from the stope's planned start, a paste fill note from the planned pour. Your leads, not ours. Every task in your schedule then carries them, and they move when the schedule moves.

Each milestone has its own lead before the planned start, and moves when the schedule moves.

  3. 3 Ground support signed off late
  4. 4 Firing plan signed off

For the whole technical services team

One plan. Every discipline.

Nothing gets mined on one person's say-so. A design passes through planning, geology, geotech, ventilation and drill and blast before it's signed off. Every discipline gets its own steps, its own queue and the same picture of what's holding the mine up.

Signed off, with every discipline's say on record.

  • Your own queue

    Everyone sees the steps that are theirs, across every task, in the order they fall due.

  • Hand-offs on the task

    Questions, mark-ups and decisions stay on the task they're about, not in an inbox.

  • Gates that hold

    A hard gate holds the next step until it's signed off. A soft gate warns and lets work carry on.

  • The team's load

    Leads see who has what this week and next, and who can pick up work nobody has claimed.
