Achievements

SAP R3 Implementation

In 1999 selected as team member and super user for SAP R3 implementation at Anglo Platinum's Mogalakwena section .Largest open pit mine in Southern hemisphere. Implementation done by Gateway Project Implementation. Team consisted of 7 members and my role was to create project plan to populate all master data, ie Functional location structure, Equipment, Components, Sub components, Maintenance packages, Maintenance plans, bill of materials, Measuring points, Resources, Task durations, Measuring documents, Rotable controls and Parts pick lists.

All statutory and legal inspections, tests like earth leakage, pressure vessel tests, brake tests, slope stability, Transformer tests etc.

Making use of historical data and full FMECA and RCM on fleet off 140 units of different equipment types from 300Ton dump trucks to Light delivery vehicles and Facilities. And on concentrator/process plant the process was duplicated but on fixed equipment like Ball mills, Cone crushers, Conveyors, compressors, Pressure vessels etc.

Responsible for testing complete cycle on each equipment type to ensure system functions to standard before roll out. The complete system implementation was completed in record time of 4 months.

Profit improvement program

In 2005 I called for a profit improvement program on Caterpillar dump trucks, The engines on these 280 ton truck were designed to last 18000 hours and we only managed between 8000 to 11000 hours before failure. These failures could not be explained by support personnel from CAT on site. I lead the team of 6 delegates including product support, parts management and maintenance specialists from CAT.

I crafted the project in collaboration with Growthcon Itl . The project lasted only 1 month and the final conclusion was turbo manifold gaskets were inferior and new spec was not communicated through STI's from CAT (Barloworld equipment) and old spec part numbers were never superseded thus we used inferior parts for years. All engines were retro fitted with new spec parts and the project had a cost saving in access of R 30 000 000,00.

SAP R3 and Data mine interphase

In 2007 I initiated an project to interphase Data mine information to be automatically be included on measuring documents of equipment maintenance plans to eliminate input errors. The team consisted of 9 members from Mine, Data mine and SAP consultants. My role was as project leader.

The end product was in the form of Phat files being created on Data mine system that populates SAP PM twice daily by means of existing network connection.+

The whole project lasted 14 months as major drawbacks were experienced in terms of patent and licencing agreements but was duly resolved by involving Legal teams of both software providers.

AID Life sea rescue floatation system

I became involved and part of the team developing and testing new sea rescue floatation system. The team consisted of members from National Sea Rescue Institude and members from SA Air Force survival equipment specialists.

The system was developed and tested between 1987 and 1990. It comprised of a basic 4 person life raft, packed and stowed in a fibre glass two part container wich would be dropped from a aircraft into the ocean where persons was shipwrecked or survivors from emergency evacuations from boats or aircraft. The system was fitted with a stabilizer parachute and automatically inflate the life raft on contact with sea water.
