Operational improvement management specialist OIM Consulting has launched a new payoff line at the 2024 Investing in African Mining Indaba – ‘Refining Lives. Releasing Value.’ – which captures the value added by the company’s Supervisory Development Programme.

This, company MD Arjen de Bruin says, is largely due owing to the company’s integration of competency assessments, classroom training and 24/7 face-to-face coaching via its performance framework, and through measuring the improved operational impact.

Considering that “everything hinges on the supervisor”, De Bruin explains that the supervisor “carries the culture” and that this is critical within any organisation or mining operation, as the supervisor is responsible for ensuring that the dialy operational targets are met.

“If they are not empowered, then mine productivity suffers. Therefore, OIM Consulting aims to create high performance cultures, efficient processes and competent leaders,” he adds.

As part of this objective, OIM Consulting will be launching its Supervisory Development Platform System (RAEDA) while simultaneously expanding the company’s work within the platinum industry.
