Delmas Coal
August 31, 2012
Pragma Africa has been busy for almost two months at Delmas Coal implementing the new ACC. The Asset Management Charter and Standards Manual are almost complete and the first of the Pragma staff started work at Delmas on the 1st of June. There is still a lot of work to do before the go-live date on 1 July. A first for Pragma is the implementation of the new Warehousing Business Process and the appointment of a Materials Planner to make sure no work is held up because the spares were not ordered on time!
