The MRM methodology enhances the TOC (theory of constraints) approach. It is specifically adapted to suit the mining environment, to synchronize and balance the physical flow and product payability attributes of each unique mining value chain. The MRM approach add two key elements to the typical TOC approach of physical flow analysis, that of dependence between ore body characteristics, ore body morphology and the impact of the variance in physical operating conditions by the ore and orebody morphology
• Building a flow and attribute mining value chain simulation model in terms of key drivers, inclusive of CDS
• Planning performed in terms of specific product quality across the total product range
• Real-time decision support for scenario evaluation and economic decision-making
• Creation of a flow-focused “management and control” environment
• Alignment of the operational environment with the strategic environment.
