The Client

 

 Lonmin Mines Limpopo -Mechanised and Conventional Mining Central project and operational office.
 
     
  The Challenge      
    The Limpopo division of Lonmin Platinum mines recently identified shortcomings in the management and administration of its capital projects. The skills shortage and the lack of experience in mechanised mining further complicated matters and had a huge impact on the delivery capabilities of the mine during the past financial year. It is also easy to understand that decisions around further expansion and capital expenditure can only be made if clarity over current management of existing capital funds exists.  
       
  The Solutions  
    The acting Vice President Mr. Johan Jansen tasked Triniti Business Solutions (Pty) Ltd. and its technology partner, Quton (Pty) Ltd. to implement a projects office and assist in the restructuring of the existing capital projects in an innovative, efficient and effective manner. There was a real time constraint as the mine needed to harvest from the benefits of a project office immediately with the projects office needing to be operational by  October 2007.  
       
  The Results  
    The integrated PSo™ solution minimized project and operational risk with full exposure to the project critical path been tracked on a daily basis. Successful integration into the operating systems gave full visibility to the daily mechanized operations. Centralized project control with full audit and version control was implemented controlling the project performance and project financials. The Triniti team would like to thank the Lonmin team for the successfully implemented project. Both teams embraced the challenges inherent in undertaking such a huge task in such a short period of time as the comfort of a proper project management framework was always there.  
       
  Benefits identified by the Customer  
    New projects are initiated under the umbrella of the projects office which will ensure that the management team can focus on the delivery of the mine and the technical issues around the implementation of mechanised mining. The mine is now assured that they will not be let down by unnecessary process flaws in the management and the administration of projects.
