Important notes for PRELIMINARY DEFENSE

ABSTRACT

- Achieving target production is a major challenge in CCC in order to remain competitive in the global
market, therefore they have to employ a large number of large scale mining equipment which are
capital intensive. Thus, a thorough performance assessment of the mining equipment being utilized
by the company would be vital.

- Productivity and effectiveness of mining equipment are one of the most important factors in
optimizing unit mining cost and measuring them is one of the best ways of identifying the possibilities
of improvement.

-Therefore, the researchers aim to assess the main excavating equipment utilized by the company
which are the backhoe units through the concept of OEE ( mechanical availability, utilization, and
production efficiency) through the technique of Time and Motion Study, These are measurable values
that demonstrate how effectively a company or unit is achieving its key objective and function. This
research will allow a further identification of common problems affecting the optimum usage and
operation of the backhoe units and will serve as a way to understand the influences that crucially
affect its overall productivity and may generally benefit the company operation as a whole.

RATIONALE

-In most surface mining companies, the major share of initial capital investment is already
accustomed to excavation and transportation equipment. Therefore, the study of the performance
of these units at regular intervals must be properly acknowledged to achieve effectiveness during
the excavation and transportation operations.

-Productivity and effectivity of the unit are one of the key factors necessary to optimize unit mining
cost and the determination and computation of these said factors are proven to be proficient in
improving the mine production of a company.

- Carmen Copper Corporation has a daily target production of 160,000 TPD of ore and waste
material and each excavator is required to produce 18,000 tons per day to meet the requirement,
to achieve the demands of the industry they have to employ a large number of capital intensive
equipment.
-Through Overall Equipment Effectiveness it can be distinguished if the unit has effectively met or
even exceeded the daily required production rates considering that there are factors that would
affect the delays of the production-unexpected breakdowns and unplanned downtime

-deploying these huge and capital intensive equipment and computing their overall equipment
effectiveness and performance are significantly helpful in achieving high production and
productivity target.

-involves both new and old units, the comparison of these backhoe units are to be determined if
there is a significant difference in their effectiveness in productivity

-Carmen Copper is a large scale mining company, deploying large numbers of excavating units both
new and old and The comparison of these backhoe units are to be determined if there is a significant
difference in their effectiveness in productivity.

-Through mechanical availability, equipment utilization, and production efficiency the common causes
of downtime affecting the general productivity of the unit during operation can be identified and
compare the actual data gathered by the researchers to the target data set by the company through
Time and Motion Study an Overall Equipment Effectiveness tool.
