In a context of increasing environmental demands, a copper mining company at the beginning of its expansion phase sought to strengthen its environmental and permitting department to better absorb the current workload and prepare for future challenges and requirements.
At SummaPartners, we enhanced the performance of the department by specifically redesigning the organizational and process systems:
We conducted a diagnosis of the structure, roles and responsibilities, governance system, and people to understand if these were adequate for the fulfillment of the department's functions.
We mapped the current process network and its key characteristics, such as execution flow, manual steps, recurrence, improvement opportunities, and time dedication, among others.
We prioritized the identified processes based on their relevance and improvement opportunities to create a detailed design of solutions.
Together with our client, we defined adjustments to the organizational system to address future workload increases and proposed changes to processes.
We designed detailed solutions for prioritized processes, such as improvements in interdepartmental coordination, optimization of available information, and support tools, among others.
We designed a tracking system for key processes and main compliance indicators of the department to support its operations.
In this way, we doubled the capacity of the environmental department, providing greater control over the area's commitments — from management to execution — thus reducing the risk of operational interruptions due to non-compliance.
