Customers use our suite of software as the backbone of their frontline operations.
Successful digitisation of a management operating system (MOS) requires integration with key IT/OT systems to dynamically connect the plans of all departments to the work of frontline teams.
Our software allows teams to Connect, Collaborate and Control all work across the site, replacing traditional spreadsheet, whiteboard and paper-based tools.
Connect.
Commit Works connects to your ERP, planning, safety and project systems so that the things that matter to frontline leaders, planners and their teams are in the plan and visible to everyone, every shift.
This makes it easy to connect the targets and work done at the frontline with the intentions of management, technical and engineering teams on site. This improves schedule compliance and makes it easier to plan the mine and mine the plan.
We also embed our software into your management operating system (MOS), BPF, Lean, Six Sigma, 7/21 or “wiring” processes to ensure it supports and improves the way you plan, do, check and act on work.
Collaborate.
Our software helps planners and frontline leaders to collaborate on the work their crews need to do so that it can be properly coordinated into shift plans that can be executed efficiently. This means teams can actually commit to well thought out weekly, daily and shiftly plans before they go to work on them.
It’s important that these plans are visible and make sense to the team at the frontline. Our software is often used for preshift coordination meetings and in handovers and prestarts so that everyone knows what needs to be done before they go to work.
Control.
Our software makes it easy for control rooms, supervisors, foremen, deputies, under managers, shift bosses etc. to keep the work that is being done aligned with the agreed plan for the shift, some people call this short interval control.
Inevitably things change as the work happens. Our software makes it all visible on tablets, phones, big screens, control rooms and even paper that work both online and offline so that decisions can be made to protect the plan, ensuring the most important work gets done and anything important isn’t forgotten.
Commitment precedes performance
We believe successful operations are driven by people who make commitments to each other and then deliver on them.
When expectations are clearly communicated and agreed through effective coordination and respectful negotiation, teams can commit and be confident of achieving targets.
Our suite of software interacts with the behaviours of people to form a ‘Commitment System‘ that empowers teams to commit to and execute the right work, at the right time, right across the site.
All work is planned, coordinated, visible, safe and productive. Operations shift gear into an ultra-responsive plan-do-check-act cycle, driving better decision-making and continuous improvement.
As a result, more of the plan gets done more often: increasing production, decreasing cost, improving compliance to plan, and making operations safer.
Our story
We started out as consultants many years ago, making spreadsheets and whiteboards for mine sites. We realised these tools were not really doing the job: they weren’t sustainable and were hard for people to use.
Since launching our first product Fewzion over a decade ago, Commit Works’ suite of software has helped operations eliminate day-to-day variability, empowered committed and coordinated teams, and helped teams to sustainably improve results.
We now work with customers on five continents, across multiple resource types and mining methods. Our growing list of customers includes Anglo American, Barrick, BHP, Glencore, Macmahon, Mastermyne, Oceana Gold, Peabody and Rio Tinto.
Reduce variability to improve productivity
Most operational sites can make huge productivity gains by improving the coordination of frontline work. Our software enables operations to reduce day-to-day variability and improve productivity by more than 10% within weeks of implementation.
