- Abstract
- A total of 4% of availability increase was achieved in an Iron Ore Train Unloader facility. A Six Sigma approach, supported by statistical techniques such as Pareto and Jackknife, is used to identify the main causes of loss and implement corrective actions, based on repetitive data collected within the time usage model accounting system. A classification method was utilised to separate production delays into different categories and target the focus of the defect elimination program in a staged approach. Via root cause analysis and fishbone diagrams, effective defect elimination tasks are identified to eliminate process outliers. Prioritisation tools and effective resource allocation are utilised to achieve an increased value adding defect elimination strategy. A control process of ongoing monitoring and data analysis is implemented to maintain sustainability of the program throughout the lifecycle of the asset and continuously improve availability. A total of 3.3 Mt of increased iron ore productivity within the Iron Ore Train Unloader facility was the result observed in the last 12 months.
