SHIFT MINING FOREMAN’S WORKING TIME ANALYSIS
Journal Title: Scientific Journal of the Military University of Land Forces - Year 2012, Vol 165, Issue 3
Abstract
This paper presents an analysis of a shift foreman’s working processes at the mining division. Based on four days of observations, the working process was divided into five groups of activities (work preparation, transportation to/from work, administration, communication, work in the area of extraction), and then various processes were analysed. In addition, a simplified flow-diagram of working activities was created. The summary of working time was prepared, including different shifts and time frameworks (preparation for work, transportation to a workplace, administrative work at an underground mining office, work in the area of operation, another administrative work at an underground mining office, transportation from a workplace to the surface, administrative work at a mining office). The analysis of four groups of activities (communication was credited to administrative activities) shows that 51% of the time foreman spends on administrative tasks (mainly completing and analysing documents). To the work in the area of operation a foreman devotes 27% of time, to transportation to/from work 17%, and 4% to the preparation for work. Based on the research, Pareto analysis was developed. The Pareto diagram shows that the most important step that brings tangible benefits in terms of mining occupies 30%, but is affected by 70% of the activities performed. An additional document analysis shows that a foreman fills in 11 different documents, where some information is repeated. The list of all the documents filled in by a foreman was made. Also, the frequency of filling in/analysing documents was determined.
