New process proving to be sweet as honey

摘要

In a world first, Gemcom Software International Incorporated recently ompleted the first full installation of its Mine Production Management Solution (MPMS) system at the Jwaneng mine in Botswana. The mine is part of the Debswana group of mines and is operated by Debswana Diamond Company (Pty) Ltd, which is equally owned by De Beers Centenary AG and the government of the Republic of Botswana. Jwaneng is the richest diamond mine in the world, by value and in 2003 it produced 14.3 million carats. The MPMS solution for Jwaneng caters for the implementation of Group Standards and operating reporting requirements, access and integration to commercial and third party software systems and stands as the cornerstone for a sustainable continuous improvement framework that in the past has been almost impossible to achieve.
