How EMESRT Operates

Advisory Group

The EMESRT Advisory Group (EAG) is made up of member representatives and its role is to confirm the strategic focus, prepare work plans, including budgets, and then to support the technical project leads. Each member brings their diverse experience, individual skills and thinking to the table and this combination supports the successful delivery of EMESRT industry projects. Strategic project selection is framed by member company and industry experience and concern, the development of a compelling case for improvement, and the ability of EMESRT to influence industry level outcomes. The EAG members lead the EMESRT Technical Working Groups.

Approach

EMESRT’s approach follows this simple and effective sequence: beginning by rigorously defining the problem and explaining it from the perspective of mining equipment users. Preparing an industry project landscape that identifies stakeholders, confirms current knowledge and articulates project goals. Then, build project communities and coordinate resources to leverage industry level innovations and improvements.

Work Plan Process

Each year the EAG holds a strategic planning review which discusses the progress / direction of each current project, strategically plan, and document, next industry project opportunities:

  • The progress of current industry projects, outstanding activities and the potential completion date
  • Identify significant industry issues within EMESRT’s remit
  • Review the project engagement with relevant industry stakeholders
  • Assign project lead(s)
  • Identify support personnel
  • Map out project plans, including objectives and deliverables
  • Develop and approve budget(s)
  • Determine the following year’s membership fees based on work plan identified and budget allocated

Operating Principles

  • Design beyond standards
