Field-tested operational advisory to lift productivity, control cost, and strengthen safety and reliability across mining operations — turning strategy into results that hold on the ground.
Typical buyers: general managers, COOs, operations directors, and project development teams.
StratBIC combines structured operational diagnostics with hands-on implementation support, so improvement plans for productivity, cost, and safety are not just recommended — they are executed and sustained.
A focused diagnostic of a specific operating area — productivity, cost, safety, or asset utilisation — to establish an evidence-based baseline and improvement priorities.
Hands-on support to implement an agreed improvement plan and build the internal capability to sustain it after StratBIC's engagement ends.
These are illustrative formats. [CONTENT REQUIRED: confirm standard engagement formats and indicative durations for a mining operations excellence engagement.] Actual scope and duration are agreed with each client during scoping.
Operational diagnostics establish a fact-based baseline — productivity, cost, utilisation, safety — before any recommendation is made.
Root-cause analysis and performance benchmarking turn the diagnostic into a prioritised set of improvement levers.
Improvement priorities and resourcing are worked through with your team and resolved into a committed action plan.
Implementation support and KPI tracking carry the plan through execution and build the capability to sustain it internally.
This is the operations-specific expression of the seven principles behind the StratBIC method, detailed on our Our Approach page.
Qualitative outcomes StratBIC's operations work is designed to produce — not quantified guarantees.
Improvement effort focused on the levers the diagnostic shows matter most, rather than the ones that are easiest to discuss.
Implementation support designed to close the common gap between a good diagnostic and a plan that is actually carried out.
Continuous-improvement skills built within your own teams, so gains are sustained after the engagement ends.
Example KPIs a client might track (illustrative only)
Trend in equipment and fleet utilisation · trend in unplanned downtime · adherence to mine plan · trend in safety-relevant incidents · trend in cost per unit of output.
These examples illustrate the kind of value tracked in an operations engagement; StratBIC agrees specific targets with each client during scoping. Unverified performance figures are never presented as commitments.
Both. Operational diagnostics and performance management apply to producing mines, while planning and readiness reviews can support projects still under development. The right scope is set during the initial conversation.
Usually a focused operational diagnostic on the area of greatest concern — productivity, cost, utilisation, or safety — which then informs whether a broader improvement programme is warranted.
No. StratBIC is independent of any technology vendor, one of the seven principles behind our method. Digital enablement is addressed at the level of performance-tracking practice and capability, not through a proprietary platform or software brand.
Against the KPIs and improvement priorities agreed with your team during scoping, tracked through the dashboards set up as part of the engagement — see the illustrative KPI examples above.
Yes. The two pillars are designed to connect: market and risk intelligence often shapes where an operational engagement should focus, and operational data in turn sharpens ongoing monitoring. See Strategic Mining Industry Intelligence.
