Time studies were conducted on cleaning and drilling/blasting crews at the 45 Level Development Ends of the KDC EAST 4 Shaft from September 15 to October 10, 2011. The following key points were observed:
1) Crews at workplaces 45/61, 45/64, and 45/66 often experienced delays starting their shifts due to waiting for hoppers or dealing with equipment breakdowns like hydraulic loader and locomotive issues.
2) At 45/61 and 45/64, loading one span of hoppers took around 7-8 minutes but shunting hoppers took longer at around 5-6 minutes. 15-17 hoppers were typically loaded per shift.
3)
The document provides information on development ends and production cycles for three sections on different levels (40/21, 41/21, 42/21) of the KDC East mine between October and November 2011. It details travelling times, delays, production metrics like hoppers loaded per shift, and issues encountered. Key delays included long travelling times of over 100 minutes each way, locomotive availability issues, hopper derailments during loading and shunting, and maintenance problems like a worn loader shovel. Crews worked to overcome delays by multi-tasking support installation with drilling and using compressed air to speed loading times.
The document analyzes drilling performance and rig usage from 24 March to 16 April 2010 at Hlanganani Shaft. It finds that delays and breakdowns reduced drilling time and overall efficiency. Positioning times were generally stable but delays over 20% on some dates negatively impacted performance. It recommends eliminating preventable delays before drilling, improving operator consistency, ensuring technician availability, providing operator guidance, and addressing electrical issues.

Product Design Trends in 2024 | Teenage EngineeringsPixeldarts
The realm of product design is a constantly changing environment where technology and style intersect. Every year introduces fresh challenges and exciting trends that mold the future of this captivating art form. In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).
AI Trends in Creative Operations 2024 by Artwork Flow.pdfmarketingartwork
Creative operations teams expect increased AI use in 2024. Currently, over half of tasks are not AI-enabled, but this is expected to decrease in the coming year. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool currently. Business leaders are more actively exploring AI benefits than individual contributors. Most respondents do not believe AI will impact workforce size in 2024. However, some inhibitions still exist around AI accuracy and lack of understanding. Creatives primarily want to use AI to save time on mundane tasks and boost productivity.
Organizational culture includes values, norms, systems, symbols, language, assumptions, beliefs, and habits that influence employee behaviors and how people interpret those behaviors. It is important because culture can help or hinder a company's success. Some key aspects of Netflix's culture that help it achieve results include hiring smartly so every position has stars, focusing on attitude over just aptitude, and having a strict policy against peacocks, whiners, and jerks.

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.

3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.
A brief introduction to DataScience with explaining of the concepts, algorithms, machine learning, supervised and unsupervised learning, clustering, statistics, data preprocessing, real-world applications etc.

1. Time Studies on 45 Level Development Ends (15 Sep-10 Oct 2011)
KDC EAST 4 Shaft (IKAMVA)
45/66, 45/64,45/61,North & 41/70 (Morning and Afternoon Shift)
2. 45 Level Background & Scope
General information and sequence of studied work places
(2.) 45/64 (South) (HPE 10)
Shift is often delayed due to waiting for hoppers before loading span one (142 min)
Hydraulic loader (27) is used, also faces breakdowns. Scoop going down slowly
(84min)
Temperature 35°C (22 & 26 /09/2011) but crew completed cleaning
Crew normally goes to the station tips before loading span 1 (137min)
9 hoppers per span, 7min loading & 6min Shunting (15-17 hoppers loaded/ shift)
Crew ‘s loco taken by tramming and cleaning was not completed (26/09) (23:56)
(1.) 45/61 (South) (HPE 5)
Travelling time to work place (48min) & Crew is able to plan for hoppers in time to
start cleaning process
Hydraulic loader (29/28) is used, breakdown delays(50min)
Able to use two locos during a shift, extra hoppers were used when lost blasts
occurred on other workplaces (23/09) (45/66 had a lost blast)
Temperature was cooler (27-30°C) during observed dates
9 hoppers per span, 4min loading & 6 min shunting (15-17 hoppers loaded/ shift)
Loco breakdowns whiles travelling to the tip station (3hrs:17min) (16/09)
(3.) 45/66 (South) (HPE 3)
Shift is often delayed due to waiting for hoppers before loading span one (107min)
Hydraulic loader (L26) is used, also faces breakdowns. Scoop going down slowly
9 hoppers per span, 8min loading & 5min shunting (15-17 hoppers loaded/shift)
Loader often derailed due to improper installation of jump sets and causes delays
Drilling is affected by mostly short breakdowns that occurs and spare parts are
being collected far away ( next to waiting place)
Crew reports that shortage of hoppers is the reason behind the delay of searching
and arranging hoppers before span one is loaded.
(4.) 45/36 North & 41/80 HWD
Two locos are used and shifts are made shorter
45 North side temperature (35°C) (27/09/2011) where the Sandvik drill rig is operating
41 level uses the tramming loco with a full span 1 and then use the development loco
for span two and finish their cleaning but not properly as ore was left on foot wall at the
face after loading 18 hoppers.(10/10/2011)
Delays were observed to be at the beginning of the shift due to tipping of hoppers from
the afternoon waste tramming shift on the level from 40 level (35min) before travelling to
waiting place.
4. Afternoon Shift
Cleaning cycle
Time before starting to load span 1
-Shaft schedule affects the time
spent at sub shaft (56min-32min)
-16,26/09 crew used loco to travel to
w/place (mostly delayed by looking
for hoppers)
-barring is affected by loco arranging
hoppers before loading span 1
Loading span 1 and 2
-15,16/09 loader 29 experienced
breakdowns (57min) but (Loading
time 4min & shunting time 4min)
-22,26/09 2 locos were used
-15,16/09 loco traveled to tip station
and faced delays when coming
back ( tramming congestion )
-19 hoppers loaded (27/09)
Time crew knocks off
-Cage schedule affects time to
surface when knocking off
-Time in 5:57pm – Time back on

Crew uses two locos of which one is for

loco first and then the development loco is
used for the second span,
15. Key Focus
Morning Shift Drilling Cycle
Time spent at sub shaft is less (12-22min) (Shaft schedule does
not affect shift)
When crew arrives at station much time is spent at the station
tips looking for and arranging man carriages before travelling to
waiting place (travelling time to waiting place 55-75min)
Work elements durations before drilling support holes starts
are increased by loco driver not being available, machine
parts and technician not available and derailing of rig whiles
approaching the face. (Hence 1 technician, 3 work places)
Drilling and charging affected by having breakdowns on rock
drills and delays, shortage of number of people in the work
place, machine breakdown and availability of repair parts.
Hydro power system in the morning reported low pressures
slowing down drilling and then increase up later (45/61).
Afternoon Shift Cleaning Cycle
Time spent at sub shaft is more (21-56min) (Shaft schedule
affects shift length)
When crew arrives at station less time is spent at the station tips
before travelling to waiting place (42-48min)
Work element’s durations before loading span 1 starts are
increased by availability of locos and hoppers, derailing of
loaders and hoppers and loader breakdowns caused by
crew’s loader driver not taking loader to fitter workshop after
usage on the previous shift.
Loading affected by loader being derailed, Hoppers derailed
on switches, Loader breakdowns (turning on one side,
shovel moving down slowly) Locos face delays when
travelling to the tip station.

Summary on issues affecting morning & afternoon shifts
Communication &
Management
Shaft schedule (crews going in and out underground)
-shaft schedule is to be followed such that crews don’t wait more that
15min at sub shaft
-1 hour in between sub shaft cages when knocking off after 1st cage on
level (afternoon shift)
Maintenance and management of equipments used for cleaning cycle
-crew’s responsibility to make sure loaders and locos are taken to
workshops for breakdowns.
-clearly distinguish between tramming equipments (hoppers) and
development and operation plan to be reviewed or re-plan
Hoppers availability
-Sharing hoppers in a space of 172min with the reef tramming crews on
the level :Shaft schedule (night shift time down – afternoon shift time)
-Maintenance on breakdown causes an increased mean time to repair
hoppers hence small in number (1 week standing)(45/61)
-Behavior of workers willing to be in possession of more hoppers and
hide them (45/64 & 66)
Mining related incidents
-Installation of jump sets, rails and ventilation systems on the work place
need attention as the common cause for delays during cleaning were
related to loader derailed, hopper derailed on switches etc.
-safety standards compromised (temperature), not blasting to full
potential (breakdowns),charging up process (45/64) and hydro power
supply division between the work places (45/61)
Morning shift and factors affecting drilling
-Delays caused by parts availability on machine and rock drills
(mean time to repair )
-supervision of crews & workmanship (miner) (45/66)

17. Conclusions
Afternoon shift
The study indicates that sharing of equipment affect the afternoon work cycle and needs to be addressed. Management will have to review the two options
available for further improving the cleaning cycle.
1) To operate in such a way that hoppers are not looked for and not a problem hence sharing with night shift reef tramming crew provided there is an efficient
way of managing the maintenance on breakdown situation (Communication & Planning).
2) Have enough equipments (hoppers & Locos )to support the work cycles, have planned (preventative) maintenance on them and follow up on how else best to
manage and operate effectively.
The afternoon shift should be accommodated by the shaft schedule so as to prevent shift delays within the afternoon work cycle.
-Time for the next cage must be reviewed per level at least 30 min difference between two points if possible when the afternoon shift knocks off.
Crews must see equipments that are not in good working conditions and need to be handed over to the fitter workshop for repair when knocking off as it delays
the next shift when loading span one (Supervision) (Lower management)
Temperatures must be kept cool or below 31°C as this is according to safety standards, crews then work in abnormal working conditions and may lead to
unsafe work practices (Lower management).This compromises safety and is totally unacceptable.
Crews must also make sure that all hoppers are tipped ( tip the second span and other full hoppers when knocking off) it delays the next cleaning cycle.
Morning Shift
Breakdowns and operational delays affect the face drilling time in total and would require more investigations to be made paying attention to rock drills, rig
machine breakdowns and delays allocated to operators.
Machine parts , spare jumpers and other facilitating materials are to be kept near the work places where rigs are operating so as to eliminate delays caused by
breakdowns requiring repairs during drilling.
Further Investigations are still to be made for final conclusions and recommendations to be made.
