Equipment utilization study
For mine superintendents and plant managers who need a fair picture of how the fleet spends a shift — productive hours, waits at the face, and crusher queues — without blending safety holds into workshop blame.

Panel Birchhub visits quarries and open pits to watch haul trucks, loaders, and crushers through a shift, then returns a written utilization study the superintendent can take into the month-end meeting.
The flagship assignment is an equipment utilization study: days on site, delay codes agreed with the shift bosses, and a bound pack of production and idle-hour charts. We do not sell a login. We sell the visit, the reading of the record, and the meeting that follows.
For mine superintendents and plant managers who need a fair picture of how the fleet spends a shift — productive hours, waits at the face, and crusher queues — without blending safety holds into workshop blame.
Turn daily tonne sheets from the pit and plant into readable production charts for weekly operations meetings.
A standing monthly pack that compares loader hours, truck availability, and crushed tonnes against the previous period.
Walk the haul road and crusher queue with the crew, then chart where tonnes wait between the face and the plant.
They sat through two night shifts with our loader operators and coded waits the way we actually speak on the radio. The utilization charts matched the week we remembered, including the day the crusher bearing went. I still wish they had given us a one-page version for the owner, who does not read delay codes.
Tell us the site, the fleet, and a preferred week. We reply within two working days with a scoping question list, not a canned brochure.
