IMPLEMENTATION OF LEAN PRINCIPLES IN MINING INDUSTRY – CASE STUDIES
Abstract
Shown in this paper is the implementation of lean principles in mining industry, in form of two case
studies, involving mining sites in Nevada, USA and Efemcukur, Turkey. In both cases, the companies
struggled to survive due to a crisis, and it was decided to apply lean principles in an attempt to
improve their efficiency and reduce the costs. The first case was focused on increasing production,
whereas the second case involved better maintenance for the purpose of preventing considerable
downtimes. The application of lean management to both these situations provided positive results,
allowing both companies to recover and continue with their work.
