Effectively managing the delivery of ore through the “pit-to-port operations” from the mining pit, through the plant, to the port where it is loaded onto a ship is a difficult task.

Most of these teams are driven by key performance indicators (KPIs) that focus on the group's performance that in some cases is not aligned to the overall efficient pit-to-port operation. For instance, the objective of minimising rehandling cost at the run of mine (ROM) could impact final product quality when loaded onto a ship. For efficient and effective pit-to-port operations it is important to effectively balance the trade-off between each groups operations to maximise profit whilst minimising risk.
