bring back an improved product . We are finding better ways to operate every day ”
“ That ’ s the world of Operational Excellence . The job ’ s never done .”
As SSR continues its journey into a new future of operating , Operational Excellence will continue to define and redefine the way in which the company achieves success . The very definition of success for SSR is fluid , it could be additional assets to its existing portfolio or it could be increased capital , but as Van Wyk notes , the future will be one of unlocking the value that Operational Excellence can bring .
“ This is happening through our workforce ’ s understanding and contributions together with management ’ s proactive challenging and support . We are on a journey to create value and enhance safety . As we grow from three operations , the impact and reward of the journey actually increases ,” she says .
“ But Operational Excellence is not just projects . It is a combination of transactional projects , but also capability development , change management , foundational rollout , training , relationships and challenge . That ’ s why Operational Excellence is such a rewarding discipline to be in , because you have that whole spectrum to operate within .”
“ Learn fast , fail fast , make corrections , improve and bring back an improved product . We are finding better ways to operate every day ”
— Liezl van Wyk Director of Operational Excellence SSR Mining
