Finding a FIFO FORMULA

摘要

Fly in fly out presents a difficult issue for mining companies. FIFO workforces pose a huge challenge for mining companies, with the spotlight rarely levelled at how they manage to get people from A to B and on site where and when they're needed. Trying to organise hundreds of people travelling, changing shifts, moving from place to place and getting them on and off remote sites is often an overwhelming challenge. Added to this is the basic communications issues that each remote site faces, coupled with the typical problems faced in any logistics chain and mining firms are suddenly facing a huge series of hurdles.
