The Day We Stopped the Mine
A near-miss, a production target and a decision to halt operations for 36 hours that cost millions and, I believe, saved lives.
The Situation
A haul truck brake failure on a ramp - no injuries, by luck. The investigation found a maintenance backlog driven by pressure to hit a quarterly production target that I had set. Three other trucks had similar deferred work.
