Mining Weekly reports that according to Sharmlin Govender, director of industrial conveyor maintenance service provider ELB Conveyor Maintenance, the mine maintenance industry is facing a significant skills shortage, exacerbated by commodity price instability.
In response to this, maintenance service providers are placing greater emphasis on the need for skills compatibility. ELB says it can match client requirements with the skill sets of its employees, thereby increasing the value of the services rendered. Implementing this approach is expected to cut costs and reduce downtime for clients, as people who have the required skill sets are assigned to projects accordingly, allowing for greater efficiency in maintenance processes.
