TUESDAY, MARCH 7 Lean and Mean from Aggregates Production to Sales #T11 9:30 - 10:30 a.m. The aggregate industry is getting more and more competitive every day. Quarry operators must keep extraction and crushing moving with minimum downtime. They must also meet their customer expectation at the loadout yard by fulfilling custom- er orders quickly and accurately and control costs to remain competitive. Every interaction with quarry products (either on plant or equipment) adds time and increases costs in wages, tire wear, fuel spend, or machine hours. Smart quarries are taking advantage of process improvement tools to find the competitive edge, maximize production, and keep customers happy. Level: Intermediate (6-10 years of on-the-job experience) Speakers: Kevin Lai, product manager, Trimble Aggregates; and Soren Schramm, Trimble Loadrite Auckland Ltd.
