Solution: Data-to-Action
Integrating Technology, Reegineering Workflows, Creating Sustainable Change
To Maximize Technology’s Impact
Why?
Companies invest in many expensive technologies that often generate lots of data that is underutilized.
Experience has proven that simply buying technology does not result in its effective use nor integration.
Restrictive or elaborate reporting environments do not result in proper analysis nor process reengineering.

How is this done?
Creating and sustaining an integrated real-time and historical integrated solution for reporting, analysis, and continuous improvement, Step-by-Step:
01 Solidify
Audit then fix existing 3rd party data sources. Add new data collection tech such as FARA when needed.
02 Integrate
Integrate data sources while considering data source types: relational (mine), process (plant), and unstructured (web/IoT) applying nomenclature best practices.
03 Necessitate
Create information addiction through scorecards and unique motivational feedback (i.e. gamification).
04 Elevate
Achieve a higher-level of sustained complex process improvements by leveraging unique technical expertise, such as Mine to Mill, Holistic Dispatch algorithms, 6 Sigma, etc.
05 Support
Tweak and Maintain the system as data systems change and improvement opportunities present themselves. Provide follow-up training.
Example Outcomes from 10 years of delivering DW ROI

Business Intelligence Hierarchy
Delivering the right information, at the right time, in the right place, including in the field on a tablet.
How is MISOM Different?
Deep experience and thorough applied research has taught us what to do, and what not to do… We now apply these philosophies to ensure the solutions are successful over the long-term.
We Know Mining
MISOM has real practical experience with mine planning, and data-driven mining and mineral processing technologies. Mining is a hybrid of several other industrial sectors: construction, manufacturing, and processing.
3Ps: People Process Platform
MISOM takes a holistic approach. Successful technology solutions consider PEOPLE (skills, culture, motivations), PROCESSES (workflows), and the Technology PLATFORM.
Business Intelligence Hierarchy
MISOM knows the difference between a dashboard, scoreboard, statusboard, scorecard, reports, and analytics. Knowing this difference is key to a successful business intelligence system.
turn Data into Action
Data: solidifying data sources through nomenclature. Information: integrating and contextualizing data. Knowledge: applying innovative and existing proven concepts like 6s. Action: reengineering and reinforcing change.
Case Studies
Mine to Mill
Optimizing drilling & blasting at a large copper mine by integrating many data sources into a data warehouse to maximize SAG throughput.
Operator Scorecards
Motivating improved productivity and reduced machine abuse through operator feedback using scorecards, at a large coal mine with dragline monitoring technology.
Activity Based Costing
Setting-up an activity based costing system (costs and production records) and providing easy-access to cost transactions to reduce unit costs.
Management Scorecards
The most effective way to create information addiction; implementing scorecards at the cultural leaders at the mine site. Managers through to supervisors powered by the MISOM data warehouse.
