Abstract
An efficient mine management system demand constant attention of mine managers on the key performance indicators like production targets, equipment status, condition of haul roads, safety etc.. There is a wealth of information generated during day to day working of the mine. The success of a mining enterprise is a function of reliability of accumulated information and decision making on the basis of such information. In the present paper a computerized mine operations management system developed for a large opencast mine making use of the potential benefits of geographical information systems, real time kinematic global positioning systems and a communication network to improve the overall efficiency of the mine is presented.
