Short Interval Control and Mine Production Supervision

Introduces short interval control as a practical supervisory system for improving mining productivity and consistency without compromising safety. Delegates learn to plan the shift into short measurable intervals, track progress, remove blockers and coach crews in real time. The course is tailored to Southern African mining shifts where lost time and variability drive performance gaps.

What you will be able to do

  • Explain short interval control and its role in mine production.
  • Break the shift into measurable intervals with clear targets.
  • Track progress and identify losses and blockers in real time.
  • Take timely corrective action to keep the shift on plan.
  • Coach crews and reinforce safe production behaviours.
  • Use short interval data to improve planning and accountability.
