Scoring System

  • For each criteria in this Field Verification provide a score from 1 - 5 to indicate the Field Officer's level of proficiency. The scoring system is as follows:

  • 1. Not yet trained/does not understand the task/skill.

  • 2. Has basic understanding of the task, but doesn’t always recognise when task needs to be performed, or cannot to perform the task without assistance.

  • 3. Mostly understands the task but still requires further coaching to operate at the required level. Performs the task when required.

  • 4. Competent – understands the task and completes it every time.

  • 5. Has mastered the skill, could be considered an expert.

Good Performance is:

  • Trucks travel at maximum capable speed throughout the circuit.

  • Minimal truck on-circuit downtime.

  • Less than 12 ODS events per shift.

  • Monitoring trucks and respond immediately to stoppages.

  • Identify and rectify source of stoppages or speed reductions.

  • Virtual mine model complies with physical at all times.

  • Monitor dump availability to ensure dump space is available to AH Control at all times.

  • Monitors queue/exit lanes and liaises with Builder where there are opportunities for improvement.

  • Monitor all dumps not manned by a dozer to identify any required mine model changes (e.g. need for new/additional dump spots).

  • Can Field Officer Import LiDar in Dump Plans?

  • What is the max nodes allowed in plans (90) - Explain why and how your survey impacts these? (Drive at reasonable speed).

  • Explains reference point.

  • Explains material mix. How to check or change.

  • Explains what a Processor is and how to check what material is allowed.

  • Explains all Advanced setting and gives examples for each feature.

  • Small area optimization - When to use (meters etc) and it's impact on planning.

  • Narrow Area - When to use (meters etc.) Impact on planning.

  • Field officer ensures Plan U-Turn is unticked.

  • Explains when to use Entry Point.

  • Explains how to optimise que and exit points.

  • field Officer communicates all changes to AH Builder and hands Dump back.

AHT Circuits

  • Monitors AHT tiles for obstacles or health events that require Field Officer response and responds in an appropriate timeframe.

  • ield Officer actively opens red tiles without being prompted from AH Control for rapid response to AHTs with Health or Obstacles Events.

  • Field Officer rectifies or takes action to rectify Obstacles that require removal. i.e. moves tumble weed or calls AUX machine for clean up.

  • Monitors trucks for improvements to lane configuration, cornering, path optimisation.

  • Is aware of Circuit/Loading unit priority as per 24hr Plan in area of accountability.

  • Field Officer is aware of the naming and colour conventions - able to provide document.

  • Field Officer can identify node limit on zones - able to show how to identify through Zones Page.

  • Field Officer is able to show how to audit colour and naming convention through Zones page.

  • Field Officer removes redundant zones to ensure Mine Model accuracy and reduction in zones.

  • Creates Zones clockwise as per OEM.

  • Able to demonstrate splitting a zone.

  • Able to demonstrate placing Zone down on TOPE Screen - beneficial for upskilling personnel without a client screen.

  • Field Officer updates date in naming convention daily when altering or inspecting all zones.

  • Inspects/monitors lane segment lengths, widths and ensures haul routes have manned lanes ticked up to assist with AHT interactions. Rectifies where needed or contacts AH Builder.

  • Follows both loaded and Empty AHT to identify any abnormal or undesirable behaviours.

  • Identifies where Manned Lanes are required to reduce truck de-rate and prox events.
