Mobile Equipment Life Cycle Costing is a practical guide for managing the economic life of a mining truck fleet. It covers key financial, commercial and physical aspects of truck management and explains specific methods for acquiring and operating these vehicles to full advantage. The course includes three sections—Introduction, Life Cycle Cost Analysis, and Optimization. It is structured to support a vigorous discounted cash flow analysis that embraces realistic estimates for the key operating and maintenance variables associated with running haul trucks, and discusses options for improving overall truck performance and productivity. The objective is to provide an analytic framework that enables readers to impartially assess haul truck investments by using reliable financial modeling and sensitivity analysis. The life cycle model should be functional as a baseline for formal equipment planning and management and for measuring the performance of the haul truck fleet during its useful life. People who will benefit from this course include purchasing, maintenance, engineering and production managers from mining companies that operate fleets of large haul trucks.

The development of a resource extraction project instantly changes the environment and social context of the area. Even the smallest group of pre-exploration geologists walking through a community can set off gossip and speculation about potential future economic, political, environmental, social and cultural transformations in a community; construction and operations typically lead to significant long-term change. This is particularly true in remote areas with small, isolated communities, which are often the ones that interact most intimately with resource projects. A strategic social management system can help a company think about its relationship with communities, the extent of the risks posed to their construction or operations and can help a company to assess and manage the social issues, strategies and benefits that are important to the project stakeholders over time. This course provides an introduction to the key components of successful strategic social management. It draws heavily on more than 20 years of experience by the MFC team designing, implementing and assessing social management systems and social performance on some of the largest and some of the most complex (not always large) mining projects around the globe. The course outlines the four distinct social management areas and brings them together into an integrated, risk-based approach for managing social performance. Strategic social management requires holistic thinking, collaboration, clear communication, integrated analysis and reporting; however, meaningful results require a detailed understanding of each of the contributing parts.
