TRAINING CENTRE AND PROGRAM DESIGN PHILOSOPHIES
NCRA Mining’s philosophy is that training centres (virtual or physical) and programs should be
designed to generate an environment that is conducive to life-long learning and represents the
learning journey as a component of an employee’s role in the mining industry that is as comparably
important as their on-going operational performance.
Training frameworks that represent and demonstrate world’s best practice in contemporary learning
through excellent facilities and curriculum, professional facilitation and teaching talent and the application
of leading technologies will allow individual businesses and industries to demonstrate to employees that
they are valued and are inherently important to the success of the business.
Training and personal development should be positioned as devices that encourage the pursuit of
excellence through learning. While physical training centres should be equipped with leading edge
technologies that foster individual learning outcomes, the physical environment of training centres
should also encourage the sharing of ideas at a person to person and group (human) level.
Students should understand that as their careers and roles change and progress in the mining
industry, “training” will be the entity that provides them with:
“The Student Experience”

opportunities for career advancement, 

opportunities to gain skills that allow them to do their jobs better 

opportunities to network and engage with their fellow employees in an environment that
encourages mutual respect for each other and a commitment to the advancement of the
professionalism of their industry 
Ultimately students should view the training centre as a place that affords them opportunities to excel and
perform, rather than as a place they must attend for mandatory and compliance driven outcomes.
To achieve the goals of the Student experience above, training centres and programs must reflect a
modern and contemporary approach to learning design. Physical training centres should have
comfortable and well-appointed training rooms, laboratories, workshops and break-out areas, there
should be an emphasis on shared space (both indoor and outdoor) that allows extra-curricular
learning and the sharing of ideas.
Training centres should emulate the real world of mining activities in an environment that allows the
safe and supportive testing of new and innovative ideas and practices.

DEVELOPING LEARNING FRAMEWORKS
NCRA Mining uses the following criteria to develop data for student throughput tables (volume) and
identified industry and business requirements (the curricula):

The proposed solutions must support the achievement of project and organisational
objectives 

Industry best practice must be applied. 

Experience in the planning and delivery of comparable training solutions has been considered
and applied 
A common example is the requirement to equip greenfield mining operations with a skilled workforce
of mobile equipment operators from a population local to resource a new mining project.
NCRA deploys multi-layered blended learning solutions for clients that may be implemented in full or
in part depending on the needs and training outcomes of the specific learning and development
project.
Deploying Learning Solutions
NCRA recognises the following strategic outcomes as imperative in the implementation, planning
and commissioning of learning systems:

To meet the requirement for workforces skilled in mining activities it is imperative that
dedicated training and learning programs with physical infrastructure (simulation devices) are
incorporated and integrated alongside workforce development and performance management
frameworks 

The learning architecture must contain the following functional and structural elements: 

Ability to rapidly train and develop new industry workers

Ability to rapidly train and improve existing industry workers

Ability to provide accurate simulation and emulation of existing and unique mining
conditions and environments

The learning solution should be designed to use the latest in high fidelity simulated learning
techniques and methodologies in order to develop “mine-ready” competence in as short a
learning timeframe as possible without compromising the rigour of the learning approach,
individual student training regimes and relevant local Mining Safety Standards 
3
Learning Pathways
The NCRA Mining learning solutions are based around a model of blended learning: a mix of
classroom, computer based training (CBT), Technical Laboratories, Workshops and on-the-job (OTJ)
training, all conducted by accredited master instructors. This model has been applied as a result of
global research and recognised best practice in the delivery of adult learning and industry standards
in mining.
The approach is designed to maximise student interest, experiences and outcomes while providing a
strong mix of learning modes to ensure that learning outcomes are consistently achieved throughout
any project term and scope.
The training facilities, programs and related learning structures (curriculum and training programs)
that are developed over the life-cycle of the training operations will be designed to provide business
and industry with:

A highly trained and skilled workforce to meet the strategic growth demands of business and
industry 

A highly trained and skilled workforce able to conduct mining operations that exceed world’s
best practice 

An indication to the global mining industry that the stakeholders of the training program value their
workforce and are prepared to invest significantly in their development and wellbeing 

An indication that the stakeholder businesses are an employer of choice in the global mining
industry 

Mechanisms to develop a sense of pride, inclusivity and engagement from the mining
workforce to attract, retain and develop the best talent for sustainable continuity of the mining
industry 
NCRA Training Curriculums
NCRA Mining develops and deploys high end training solutions for mining equipment operators as a
core business function. NCRA Mining also recognises that for full workforce development projects a
wide variety of learning programs are necessary and applicable.

MINING OPTIMISATION CENTRE OVERVIEW
Mission Statement
The Mining Optimisation Centre (MOC) is a physical and virtual operational control and training centre
designed to monitor, manage and continuously improve mining productivity at managed sites.
The MOC is built upon and combines the proven operational management methodologies utilised in:

Remote Operating Centres (ROCs) increasingly utilised in mining businesses

Mission Command and Control Centre’s deployed by military and aviation operating models
The MOC utilises the joint capability and capacity of the Napoli Group (NG) and CAE Mining (CAE) to
closely monitor the controllable elements (costs) of production and convert gathered data into
improvement plans, training regimes and mining operations improvement plans.
The MOC is designed to provide real-time mining production data not previously available to
operational stakeholders allowing them to immediately identify the root cause of a productivity issue,
and act upon a solution using precise information, for continuous improvements to mining operations.
It should be known that this combination of software, hardware and technologies, operational and
operator standards and capabilities has not been seen before (in industries outside of aviation and
defence). The alibility to integrate these tested methods and technologies alongside a wealth of
mining expertise and knowledge has been a vision for Napoli Group for many years,
In the current climate of volatile resource prices, the ability to closely (in real time) monitor the costs of
production will enable mining businesses to set and adhere to specific cost of production targets by
having total oversight of:
Optimisation of mine plan/schedules to include:

Mining practices: Optimise haul balance strategies

Mobile /virtual training: Operator, supervisor and superintendents

Workforce adherence to operational and safety standards.

Accurate data measuring current production performance against set operational KPIs

Accurate data that highlights and measures inefficiencies and provides route cause analysis

Machine/equipment/operator optimisation

(lower the risk of accidents) Keeping people safe
o
Agreed/planned mining methods being adhered to
o
Increased availability
o
Reduced maintenance costs
o

o
Better managed cost of labour (all site production roles)
5


Equipment telemetry records (allowing “Playback” of point in time operational conditions)
o
Managing and reducing accident and incidents
o
Reviewing operational performance (measured against KPIs)
o
Identification of variables and inefficiencies and analysing list of root causes
Briefing tools for highly targeted training and development regimes
The MOC will operate on behalf of subscriber clients and will offer total production management and
control services.
Technology Components to Deliver Productivity Management Services
The MOC uses advanced telecommunications, information management and training and
development technologies to achieve and automate and its goals for optimised mining operations:

Napoli Group InMotion Mining Production Loss Calculator and Root Cause Analysis tools,
skills Evaluation

CAE Terra High Fidelity Equipment Simulators and Advanced Operator Development tools
Scope of Mining Optimisation Centre
The MOC will be concerned with the following services and activities from “Day 1” of operations:

Analysis of real time mining production data using InMotion technologies with the view to:
o
Developing detailed training and productivity development plans for individuals
(operators) and mining sites
o
Enacting mining process change plans to respond to identified practice improvements

High Fidelity Mining Equipment Simulators to practice and test advanced mining techniques

On the job equipment training conducted by proficient instructors
The MOC will be geared to add the following managed services to its capabilities over time

Remotely operated equipment

Automation of mining extractive processes
Physical Nature of the MOC
The MOC is designed to be implemented in phases that progress from a distributed, mobile and
virtual operational centre phase through to a potential “bricks and mortar” facility located in a region
that allows the MOC to service the operator base of managed sites (operational within 5 months of
purchase).
In its early phases the MOC exists as a “virtual” training centre that receives equipment and
operational telemetry for simulator training to ensure the work force is proficient and capable.
The phased approach from mobile/virtual to physical facility is to ensure that CAE and NG can
provide high value mining improvement and training services with ease and flexibility, while at the
same time, monitoring the mining configurations of subscribing sites ahead of a strategic selection of
supportive technologies to optimise the management of multiple mining operations with a reduction in
the management and supervision tiers (personnel) required.
6
The phased approach will also allow better strategic decisions on the scope of the training hardware
and systems to be deployed in the MOC (for example, the MOC supports Above Ground mining
operations initially, with underground hardware and systems capability added over time). The phased
approach also allows the MOC to ramp-up services alongside the expansion of mining operations at
managed sites.
How the MOC provides direct return on investment
The MOC is designed to monitor and manage the costs of mining production and to find
improvements through increased oversight of the human elements of the mining process (Mine
Planning and Operators and their equipment) The MOC is designed to recoup costs and provide
return on investment through:

Total and real time oversight of the cost of mining production leading to real time cost
management and early interventions

Increased safety, performance and output from human operators
o
ability to develop and support “Proficient Equipment Operators” in 25% of the time
usually taken using traditional experiential and on-the-job training regimes

Decreased costs associated with equipment maintenance and repair

Better management of consumables (tyres, diesel fuel etc)

Ability to provide the most advanced and effective skill and knowledge acquisition (training)
tools available to mining equipment operators
Mining Practices overseen by the MOC using InMotion technologies

PROCESS FOR DELIVERING SERVICES
In the initial stages of the phased development approach, the MOC will not exist as a physical entity.
The MOC will provide services built around the InMotion product.
The InMotion tools will provide initial productivity analysis data that will be used to provide a report for
improvements. The training and learning services of the MOC will then be utilised to provide operator
improvement solutions to the client.
In the early phase the MOC will require basic administration roles to coordinate the systems and
provide client services. Training assets such as the mobile simulators will be coordinated and
managed remotely by the MOC Administration. ELearning services will be managed and distributed
as online modules from the MOC LMS servers. On-the-Job training services will also be scheduled
and managed by the MOC Administration.

APPENDIX: INMOTION PRODUCTIVITY TOOLS
InMotion and Loss Calculator (Simulator installation)
InMotion refers to the methodology that collects data on equipment and operator performance in live
mining operations with the view to analyzing and interpreting that data for performance improvements.
The production “Loss Calculator” is an additional tool/program which works alongside InMotion and
other evaluation tools to identify and measure deficiencies within an operation. It specifically
highlights improvement areas to support the mining organization’s continuous improvement
processes.
Loss Calculator has been designed to identify the common causes of production variables, that
impact on safety and productivity while providing an estimated bcm/tonnes amount associated to that
particular variable (thereby providing an ROI figure for the case for improvement as well as a target
KPI for improvement strategies).
This program methodology will then refer to a route cause analyses framework, providing the user
with a list of possible causes for each item selected and highlighting one or more departments or
personnel which are identified. This allows for the implementation of a targeted corrective action plan
with measurable and demonstrable outcomes.
The high level input variables and process for root cause analysis incorporated in InMotion and Loss
Calculator are:

Select machine make/type

Select correct operational hours

Select the appropriate variables
o
(Detailed list of variables identifying mining configurations and operator tolerances)

Review calculated losses and percentages

Develop findings for analysis

Review findings and locate and isolate the causes via root cause analysis list

Implement improvement strategies

Measure improvement through the program

Review cost/benefit to business
Root Cause Analysis
Root cause analysis is generally examined under the following factors

Operator (Human) contributing factors

Mine Technologies, Standard Operating Procedures, Planning and Design, and Supervision
Competence contributing factors

Mining and equipment configuration contributing factors

Equipment operating parameters (including mechanical performance) contributing factors

10 APPENDIX: CAE TERRA SIMULATORS
Advanced realism
The simulator leverages CAE’s cutting edge technologies and offers high-fidelity simulation and
visuals based on the aviation standard. The simulator is built with high-definition projector screens
and a six degrees-of-motion system for the most realistic training environment. Simulators are
designed to emulate with 1:1 accuracy the realities of operating mining equipment in true to life
simulated environments.
Advanced instructor station and Integrated Brief/De-brief
The simulator is user-friendly and designed with an instructor station that allows effective training
sessions between instructor and operator. The ability of the instructor to dynamically alter the training
scenario leads to improved instructor efficiency. Based on the aviation model, the brief-debrief
system (BDS) can be integrated into the simulator as an invaluable instructor tool.
Collaborative training environment
The simulator can integrate e-learning or mobile-learning training tools which can be linked with a
learning management system (LMS) in order to track the students’ progress.
Fully simulated rock dynamics and climatic conditions
The mining markets most advanced and fully simulated rock dynamics and climatic conditions allow
students to train with the real life feel of the equipment interacting with the rock and to become better
prepared for a range of conditions and unpredictable events.
Evidence-based training
By collating data from the fleet management systems, individual performance can be assessed and
data reused in corrective training in a simulated environment.
Monitoring and performance system
Performance monitoring and competencies assessment tool will be as valuable for experienced
operators as for new hires.
