We have many years of experience associated with coal and minerals mining. We understand the operations and can readily assist you with a variety of training and continuous improvement solutions.

The following are our recommended solutions for Mining Companies:

• Leadership Foundations. This 2-day workshop includes a comprehensive overview of leadership concepts, principles, and applications in the modern workplace. First we define leadership in today’s context then we develop a common frame of reference from which to discuss and evaluate leadership. We then apply the frame of reference towards understanding the critical skills and actions needed for effective leadership. We also stress the important of personal and organizational values in shaping the leader. Leadership Foundations also serves as a very good team building event.
  


• Continuous Improvement Team Member Workbook. We offer a very specific service that includes both training sessions (train-the-trainer and/or train team members) and a quality management workbook. The workbook offers many quality management tools and techniques and would be a valuable reference for any CI team member. We cover the basics of quality management, how to conduct problem-solving/continuous improvement, and explain the Basic Seven Tools of Quality. The entire workbook is nearly 180 pages arranged in eights units. We can readily shape these services to your particular quality management/continuous improvement needs.
  


• New Supervisor Orientation. This 3 to 4-day course provides instruction on the role of the supervisor, employee relations, effective business communications, and direct-level leadership competencies. Course content also includes instruction on the responsibilities of supervision, the essentials of good leadership, communication processes, dealing with problem employees, and the role of the supervisor in continuous improvement. We will custom build this program to meet your specific needs and include your mission, values, and employee handbook requirements with the training.
  


• Quality Management: An Overview of the Processes. This program includes discussion of the most relevant quality management processes including: Total Quality Management (TQM), Six Sigma, the Deming Cycle, Juran’s 10 Steps, Partnering, Benchmarking, ISO9000, ISO14000, Statistical Process Control (SPC), Just-in-Time, and Continuous Improvement. The course includes an overview of each topic along with examples for their practical application in the workplace. We can also work with you to develop a customized continuous improvement program for your company.
  


• Leadership Overview and Strategic Assessment. This 1-day workshop is divided into two parts. The first is an overview of the application of leadership and the second part includes a strategic assessment for your business. This workshop can also be a very good team building event and helps to get all members of the team on the same footing in terms of the business’ operations.
  


• Labor Relations for Supervisors. The course emphasizes the role of leadership and management towards creating a work environment that is open, productive, and free of any labor relations issues. The program includes several case examples and problem solving techniques for how to more effectively deal with labor relations issues. The fundamentals of labor relations law are also included with this course.
  


• The After Action Review (AAR): A Tool for Continuous Improvement. The workshop and follow-on mentoring sessions provide an organization with one of the most powerful and widely recognized tools for continuous improvement: the After Action Review. The AAR is a tool that can be readily used at all levels of the organization and is most effective at the crew/team/unit/shift/department levels. The program is divided into three parts: a database development phase, a formal train-the-trainer session, and one-on-one mentoring sessions with the participants when they conduct their first AAR with their employees. This program is specifically recommended by the Harvard Business School as one of the best post-project assessment tools.
