Kramer Ausenco provided Morobe Mining (MMJV) operational skills and training support for the Hidden Valley gold-silver project located in Papua New Guinea.
Analysis indicated the plant was not achieving production capability due to competency issues and role confusion.
Training Needs Analysis (TNA) and Gap Analysis
Kramer Ausenco conducted a TNA to analyse the current competency level of the operators against the required competency level to effectively operate the plant and achieve the stated target production rate and process recovery.
On-the-job training
Kramer Ausenco’s on-the-job training incorporated practical, key learning aspects for the training program. On-the-job training also allows trainees to gain a broader understanding of the upstream and downstream effects of their actions on plant production and reliability during real time situations.
