About the CBT© Program for Mill Operators
In recent years the mineral processing industry has downsized its labor force, installed new technology with larger equipment and incorporated plant wide automation, all in an effort to improve productivity and performance while maintaining operating cost at a minimum. As a consequence of these actions the operator is now required to make more and better informed decisions. To meet the educational needs at the concentrator operation level our affiliated company Svedala Brenda Process Technology (Canada) developed a Computer Based Training (CBT©) program. This program is non-threatening, easy to use and allows operators to work at their own pace.
The Computer Based Mill Operator Education Program picks up where most other training programs leave off. It emphasizes PRINCIPLES over the more traditional PROCEDURES normally taught. To facilitate learning, this system incorporates "seeing" (text, pictures, graphs), "hearing" (animations and videos), and "doing" (interactive graphics and dynamic simulators). The PC based multimedia system incorporates tests and a management system to measure and track the progress of your operators.
Over 40 grinding and flotation modules are currently being used around the world to help operators understand their operation better to help their companies achieve better overall results. The systems are also providing an excellent review for process engineers.
Some operator comments about the CBT© Program
" Good, even for experienced operators"
"This is a whole new way of looking at grinding. It is very good for operators. That's great, I wish I had more time with it"
"This is the way to learn because everyone learns the same thing. If there is an argument on what is going on, the computer will settle it. I wanted to stay with CBT rather than going back to work"
"This is very interesting. It shows there is a lot more to grinding than what we know. I wish I could have something like this twenty years ago".
