MineRP’s approach to WBS provides for continual collection and assimilation of data to enable the tracking of change in state and status of the mineral deposit over time This is required to manage a mineral deposit as inventory and stock items familiar to an inventory management system (MineRP’s first patent)

1. WBS in MTS.Work breakdown structure in Mining Technical Systems .

2. Integration of proprietary systems and
processes.
Generic WBS
Depends on WHO you are, and WHAT you use it for:
ERP systems with multi-faceted information.
Visually depict an acceptable level of detail.
Integration between information domains.

3. • Prospection
• Conceptual Studies
• Pre-feasibility studies
• Feasibility Studies
• Mine development
• Mining operations
• Mine closure
Mining Operations include:
hamstrung by
indirect planning
and costing &Inefficient costallocation.

5. Planning and Controlling the cost
At a level of detail to suit the miners
MineRP’s approach to WBS is based on:
•Mining work place location
•Mining technical activities
(as defined in the planning process)
The WBS can now dictate
A corresponding cost code structure for
planning
In a conventional ERP system
Cost control of resources
Technical activities
Miner’s level of detail and granularity

methods and activities
The system allows for cost control within the ERP system, in an
integrated fashion for both core and support mining processes allowing
for functionality such as:
• A works order as an equivalent to a mining instruction;
• A picking list as a survey measuring list;
• A purchase order as a short term operational;
• Daily bookings of mining activity;
• Periodic survey measurements
Speeding up the planning process
Enabling the accountants to keep pace with mining’s dynamics

MineRP’s approach to WBS provides for continual collection and assimilation of data
to enable the tracking of change in state and status of the mineral deposit over time
This is required to manage a mineral deposit as inventory and stock items familiar to
an inventory management system (MineRP’s first patent)
Accomplished by generating inventory management system transactions based on
state and/or status changes of the corresponding mineral resources and reserves
We can publish a resource and reserve statement from the ERP system, updated as
often as new information is made available (typically from month end survey
measuring)
