•What ore grades required, & geological mappings
•What materials required (fuel, grinding media, explosives)
•What rail requirements for inbound/outbound logistics
•When to schedule ships (and type)
•What maintenance windows required
•What alternate strategies (incl safety stocks) for outages
•What workforce required for each shift (incl FIFO logistics)

information
◦ Enabled to be viewed on
compliant report technologies
(e.g. Microsoft SQL Server Reporting
Services Reports)
◦ HTML editing
Text fields support multiple
lines
Linking to external files and
URLs
◦ E.g. attach photos and external
reports to a shift log.
Linking records to equipment,
people, and/or material.
◦ E.g. link a safety incident
record to the equipment that
caused it.
