Project Oversight & Ops Management

What Northline Oversees

 

1. Daily Performance Monitoring

 

We analyse operational output, activity logs and contractor performance to confirm that work is progressing according to plan. This includes:

 

• Reviewing production data submitted by contractors

• Tracking progress against timelines and KPIs

• Identifying issues early before they escalate

 

This continuous monitoring allows mine owners to make informed operational decisions without waiting for weekly or monthly summaries.

​

2. Weekly Oversight and Reporting

 

Northline conducts structured weekly oversight sessions that act as a health check for the entire project. These sessions include:

 

• Reviewing all milestones achieved

• Assessing any delays and root causes

• Evaluating contractor performance and compliance

• Updating the master project schedule

• Providing owners with a clear summary and action plan

 

Weekly oversight ensures that every stakeholder knows the current status and next steps.

 

3. KPI Tracking and Operational Intelligence

 

Northline defines, tracks and analyses the performance indicators that matter most to mine owners. These include:

 

• Production metrics

• Contractor output

• Machine utilisation

• Site efficiency

• Cost-to-performance ratios

• Safety and compliance data

 

By reviewing these indicators routinely, we help clients understand patterns, inefficiencies, and opportunities for improvement.

 

4. Stakeholder Coordination

 

Clear communication is the foundation of successful operations. Northline manages structured communication between:

 

• Mine owners

• Contractors

• Labour providers

• Machinery suppliers

• WHS and environmental teams

 

We ensure that everyone receives accurate information, decisions are documented, and accountability is maintained.

 

5. Production Data Verification

 

Northline validates all production data submitted by contractors. This protects mine owners from incorrect reports and protects contractors from disputes they did not cause. Verification includes:

 

• Checking accuracy of reported volumes

• Reviewing time sheets and logs

• Ensuring evidence matches actual work

• Flagging inconsistencies

 

This impartial verification supports fair and transparent operational outcomes.

​

6. Issue Escalation and Resolution

 

When issues arise, Northline manages the escalation pathway. Our process includes:

 

• Identifying the issue source

• Gathering evidence

• Setting required actions

• Engaging contractors or suppliers

• Confirming completion

 

This disciplined approach avoids unmanaged disputes and maintains operational stability.

 

7. End of Project Closeout

 

At completion, Northline manages the closeout process, which includes:

 

• Final evidence checks

• KPI summary

• Payment release alignment

• Closeout reporting

• Lessons learned review

 

Closeout ensures that all parties complete their obligations and that the project is formally finalised.

 

How This Integrates With The Payment Assurance

 

Project oversight works hand in hand with GLO trust payment assurance. When both systems operate together:

 

• Verified work aligns with verified payments

• KPI achievement confirms milestone release

• Production data supports payment evidence

• Oversight prevents unnecessary payment disputes

• All transactions remain auditable and time stamped

 

This combined structure creates a controlled operational and financial environment across the entire project lifecycle.
