A mining company needs to upgrade a conveyor to meet the demands of iron ore to the external market. The installed capacity was 6000tph. This capacity is not fully utilised primarily due to process variability. Processing of ore-type exacerbates the problem as it volumetrically constraints the plant due to its low density and promotes rat-holing in the primary bins. The business is transitioning towards greater processing and handling. It is now planned to be upgraded to 8000tph.

Production Change : From 6000TPH to 8000TPH

1. Identify the current process.
2. Explain the new proposed change.
3. Develop the communication plan on the proposed change
4. Obtain stakeholder's feedback and buy-in
5. Revalidate process data 

 

1. What is the strategy to implement the change?

3. Execute the change, develop the project execution plan on the change, seek approval and communicate 
4. Control the change 
5. Close the change 

 

1. How would you evaluate change? 

 

1. Communicate Project Evaluation Strategy for the change
2. Mark milestones against objectives 
3. Identify barriers for the change and lead for change
4. Modify communication plan for any change
