Operating managers in the aggregates industry have seen increasing priority placed on managing nonoperational, non‐production details. Compliance with safety, permits, environmental, corporate reporting and human resource priorities are all necessary but have little positive impact on operating performance. With this, few managers have time to obtain the operating Knowledge necessary to establish the realistic performance potential of their processing systems.
Inability to effectively evaluate current operating performance restricts planning and scheduling to a “Seat–of‐the‐Pants” approach based merely on previous Experience without Knowledge of current system condition, capabilities or processing limits. Accepting Experience‐Limited, budgeted production and financial projections as valid operating targets incorrectly implies acceptance of past performance as a valid target for future results.
W. Edwards Deming, an esteemed American statistician, professor, author, and consultant, accurately describes this as “…management by numerical goal, …an attempt to manage without knowledge of what to do…”. Without system Knowledge, managers become limited operationally to reactionary efforts directed toward achieving short‐term budget‐based financial expectations. Operating initiatives become limited, often entirely, to compliance with spending limitations, blindly accepting current operating Experience as indication of system capabilities and limits without Knowledge of hidden performance potential.
Aggregate operations require both competent compliance and performance management, however, it is important to consider that, just as we know that without regulatory and corporate compliance there would be no operations allowed; without performance Knowledge there may not be adequate profitability and no reason to operate leaving us with no compliance to manage.

INTRODUCING QUARRYVISION SYSTEMS
We are a small group of highly experienced operations, engineering and management experts each with more than 35 years in the aggregates and mining industries. We are offering a proven system for process mapping, measurement and performance optimization. Our systems are certain to add 10% ‐ 20% to profit simply by reducing scheduled hours required to achieve forecast sales. Performance Analytics Operator Interface QuarryVision Systems’ basic production data comes from belt scale measurements for both the Performance Measurement Application and the Profit Optimization Application. The QuarryVision
System measures and records key process variables as they are encountered in day‐to‐day operations displaying precisely how the plant is operating in “real‐time” enabling adjustment to be made to achieve optimal results. The QuarryVision System includes site‐customized predictive analytics of production results to provide plant managers with both “real‐time” and historical information regarding actual process yield, rate and runtime capabilities. This substantially enhances forecasting accuracy by eliminating reliance on theoretical flow model data or belt sample “snapshot” gradation and rate results.
