How Mineral Processing & Plant Operations works in SkillScorer
Score
Each operator in a crew is scored on the Mineral Processing & Plant Operations skills in the Skills Matrix: tap a cell, type a score, and it saves itself.
Compare
Rank operators, compare two side by side, or compare your crews against each other to see exactly where the strengths and gaps are.
Track
Scores are kept year after year, so you can see who is improving and which Mineral Processing & Plant Operations skills need attention. Reports also follow each shift supervisor's crew.
Mineral Processing & Plant Operations scorecard: common questions
What skills does the Mineral Processing & Plant Operations scorecard include?
SkillScorer's Mineral Processing & Plant Operations scorecard covers 12 skills: Process Circuit Knowledge, Control Room Monitoring, Sampling and Assay Support, Reagent and Chemical Handling, Equipment Isolation and Lockout, Conveyor and Crusher Operation, Fault Response and Escalation, Throughput and Recovery Awareness, Housekeeping and Spillage Control, Shift Logs and Handover, Environmental Controls and Teamwork with Maintenance. Each one comes with a written description of what it measures, and you can edit, rename, remove or add skills to suit your organisation.
How are operators scored in Mineral Processing & Plant Operations?
Every operator is scored from 1 to 10 on each skill (1 = Poor, 5 = Average, 10 = Elite), one crew and year at a time. Scores autosave in the Skills Matrix, and the 18 built-in reports turn them into rankings, radar charts, skill gaps and year-on-year trends.
Which levels come with Mineral Processing & Plant Operations?
Mineral Processing & Plant Operations starts with these levels (called “Grade” in the app): Trainee, Operator, Experienced Operator, Leading Hand, Shift Supervisor and Superintendent. They are just a starting point, so you can rename, reorder or replace them.
Can I change the Mineral Processing & Plant Operations skills and wording?
Yes. The skills, levels and labels are all editable per organisation. In mining & resources the app talks about operators, crews and shift supervisors, and you can change any of those words too.
