Track Record

• Whilst at Boggabri Coal, Ruveni identified a gap in planning whereby the Technical Services team were providing dump designs and plans only when required. He developed an excel spreadsheet, using macros, that produced a dumping schedule to be used by short-term planning engineers that provided a dump schedule that ran in parallel to the digging schedule, elevating the lag in reporting.
• He was part of the team that developed a cost analysis for the truck and shovel operation at Boggabri. Using the cost and revenue produced from the rise and run as part of the contract, the team had an opportunity to challenge production in managing fleet and at the same time offer options which they adjusted the following day. This saw profit margin for the contract improve each month.
• During another project, Ruveni was given the task to produce an annual mine plan using Deswik scheduling software which at the time was in its infancy. He was able to overcome the challenges that came with using this new software. By reproducing the information in XPAC, an annual mine plan was delivered to the client on time and within budget.
• In his final year at University, Ruveni designed an underground ventilation system for Ballarat Goldfields. His work on this system was recognised and presented as a paper at the Kalgoorlie mining conference
