Reconciliation: getting it right the first time – Johannesburg, SA

In this 1-day course we cover all aspects of the reconciliation process, including the key data which needs to be collected, the importance of unbiased measurement of volumes, tonnages and grades (among other metrics).  We will show how to map out the production data flow and discuss the important measures of performance.  Attendees will work on real-life reconciliation information and examine the potential sources of error.  Scrutiny of the processing side of the reconciliation information provides another perspective, and a discussion of best practice highlights how efficient and useful a well-specified system can be.
