Production reporting · Mining & aggregates
Close the daily tonnage report by sign-off.
Shift tallies live in the fleet system, the weighbridge log, and three supervisors' notebooks. Reconciling tonnes and grade into one signed daily eats the morning.
The reality
Production is a reconciliation problem.
Mined tonnes from the FMS rarely match weighbridge tickets, which rarely match the surveyed stockpile movement. Grade blocks have to be tied back to the block model, rehandle has to be netted out, and any variance over tolerance has to be chased before a superintendent will put their name on the daily.
The operator owns the daily record end to end. It pulls shift tallies, weighbridge tickets, and stockpile surveys, reconciles tonnes and grade against the plan, isolates and queries the variances, and publishes a signed daily production report the same day instead of two days later.
How the operator runs production reporting
Daily report · 11 June · Sources
collecting- FMS mined tonnes — both shifts
- Weighbridge tickets — ROM and product
- Stockpile survey — pulling deltas
01Pull the tallies
Collects FMS tonnes, weighbridge tickets, and stockpile movements for every shift across the production day.
Reconciliation · ROM vs weighbridge
reconciling- Grade tied to block model
- Rehandle netted from mined tonnes
- Variance 3.1% — query raised to shift
02Reconcile and flag
Matches tonnes and grade against the plan, nets rehandle, and isolates any variance over tolerance.
Daily production report · 11 June
signed- Reconciled tonnes and grade locked
- Superintendent sign-off captured
- Distributed to ops and planning
03Publish signed report
Compiles the reconciled figures, routes for superintendent sign-off, and distributes the daily record.
The outcome
−65% of report compilation work off the team
Accurate production record, same day.
- Tonnes and grade are reconciled against plan before anyone signs
- Variances are isolated and queried, not buried in a spreadsheet
- The signed daily lands the same day, not two days late
