Are you considering every part of the mining value chain when making long-term planning decisions?

The Whittle Integrated Strategic Planning Seminar provides an introduction to the philosophy and methodology behind Whittle Integrated Strategic Planning — an approach to long-term mine planning that considers and optimises all parts of the mining value chain simultaneously to maximise the value of projects and operations.

Through a practical case study, the seminar demonstrates the 10 key steps involved in developing a Whittle Enterprise Optimisation model, including mine scheduling, cut-off, blending, stockpiles, processing, product specification, logistics and capital.

The seminar also introduces Activity-Based Costing (ABC) and Theory of Constraints (TOC), demonstrating how these techniques can support better strategic decision-making across both open pit and underground operations.

ONLINE FORMAT - Participation includes:

🔵 Seminar pre-work | 5–6 hours | Self-paced online learning
🔵 Zoom session | 3.5 hours | presented by Gerald Whittle, CEO Whittle Consulting
🔵 Concluding modules | 2–3 hours | Self-paced online learning

Registration is now open for our October seminar series - https://ap1.hubs.ly/H01n0RJ0

SEMINAR FORMAT: self-paced learning modules + live Zoom session

🔵 Pre-work modules (self paced) --- 4–5 hours
🔵 Live online session (via Zoom) --- 4 hours (dates below)
🔵 Concluding modules (self paced) --- 1–2 hours

Presented by Gerald Whittle, CEO of Whittle Consulting, the Seminar covers the philosophy and methodology behind Whittle Integrated Strategic Planning, including the processes and benefits of developing a Whittle Enterprise Optimisation model.

Through practical examples, it demonstrates the 10 distinct steps involved—pit/underground phases, mine scheduling, cut-off, blending, stockpiles, processing, product mix and specification, logistics, and capital—and shows how, when applied simultaneously, these mechanisms can significantly increase mine value (NPV).

The seminar also explores the additional value and outcomes that can be achieved by applying techniques and concepts still relatively new to the mining industry, such as Activity-Based Costing (ABC) and Theory of Constraints (TOC). The end result is a powerful analytical approach to decision-making across all aspects of a mining operation or project, applicable to both open pit and underground operations.
