Sample Pit: September 2026

Worked out from the downtime your supervisors recorded. Nobody typed an hour meter reading.

The month

2030.3 hours digging out of 2100 available. 69.7 hours lost across 75 delays. 5.3 hours of that hanging.

That is 533 loads not moved, at 140 BCM a load.

EX63 lost the most: 14.1 hours over 25 shifts.

5 weeks counted. A week belongs to the month its Monday falls in. Shown as loads rather than dollars, because this site has given us what its machines average an hour and not what it is paid a BCM. Lost hours times that average, and nothing else in it. Give us the rate per BCM and the same figures carry a dollar. Where a machine shows a measured rate it comes from your own load count at 140 BCM a load, before survey reconciliation. A machine showing a target rate is costed at what the site asks of it. Counted from signed handovers. The handovers themselves are deleted on the site's retention window; these totals are what is kept.
