Abstract
Mining application requires specialized education for operators in their explicit field to advance focussed awareness and accurate skills to do their jobs excellently. The objective of teaching is to empower all operatives to achieve their job in a method that is acceptable to the company and the staff. The study does not include all procedures and forms in place yet, but it embraces a system comparable to the one used in our Air Force sometime before. Also, the study relies on On Job Training (OJT) model training for the operators on a particular machine or process type. A training card for each process/machine type have been made up as well. The specific tasks related to the machine/process that the operator will be doing has been listed. The card is given to the operator and the operator is paired up with a more skilled operator from that machine. Also, listing the specific functions of the machine/process typically required different products to be processed through that sometimes have their own unique things about them. There are several older, more experienced operators to train and evaluate freshers. Therefore, the intends to analyse the various factors contributing to the human efficiency of Dumper Operators in Quarries, effectively creating an Operator Skills Matrix (OSM). The main objective is to create a blueprint for automated modelling of the operator efficiencies and to generate required data. Operator Skills Matrix could be effective in building an assessment metric. Operator Skill Index (OSI) centred on which the complete work of any operator would be standardized. Once such a benchmark is created, person in-charge can take sufficient methods to re-train whoever lacks skill. Operators are very important to improve safety and productivity which reduces the cost of mining. Thus, latest technique available is Virtual Reality Training (VR).
