Mining
Mining: production and BOM, stock and warehouse, shipment and reporting.
Challenges
- Output is not split by pit and panel, so the productive area is unknown.
- Without a grade record, the shipment price is contentious.
- A gap appears between weighbridge tonnage and stock.
- Explosive and fuel consumption is not tied to output.
Workflows
From pit to shipment
- The pit and panel are opened as production units.
- Extracted tonnage and grade are recorded on the panel.
- Shipment reduces stock via the weighbridge slip and waybill.
Consumption and cost
- Explosives, fuel and machine hours are posted to the panel.
- Cost per tonne is computed per panel.
- Selling price and revenue are matched to the grade.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I separate output by panel?
Yes — each panel is a separate production unit where tonnage and cost accumulate.
Can I keep grade records?
Yes — the assay result is tied to the panel and the shipment, and pricing rests on it.
Can I catch weighbridge discrepancies?
Yes — the weighbridge slip is compared with the stock movement and the gap is reported.
Can I derive cost per tonne?
Yes — explosives, fuel and machine costs are posted to the panel, so unit cost is computed.
Can I tie the waybill to the weighbridge?
Yes — the waybill is generated from the weighbridge slip and the tonnage carries over exactly.
