What is the difference between mechanical availability and utilisation?
Mechanical Availability = % of time equipment is not under maintenance. Utilisation = % of available time actually worked. A machine at 85% MA and 80% utilisation works 68% of total shift time.
What is a good OEE for mining equipment?
Overall Equipment Effectiveness (MA × Utilisation × Performance) of 65–75% is considered good for mining. World class mines achieve 80%+ OEE through predictive maintenance and queue management.
How do I improve dump truck cycle time?
Reduce haul road grades, improve road surface quality (reduce rolling resistance), eliminate waiting time at loader, optimise truck spotting position, and use dispatch systems for truck allocation.
