LAN REFRESH PROJECT


Project Background

The refresh is required for the following reasons:

 Wolvekrans local area network (LAN) equipment that has reached end of life and currently posing the risk of cybersecurity.

Project Description

 The LAN refresh project will include the refresh of all identified switches according to the CMDB managed by SAEC IT and BCX logistics;
 The implementation of LAN equipment will take place;
 An estimate team of up to 4 technicians will be performing the refresh;
 The estimated completion date for project is 30 June 2021.

Project Objectives & Deliverables

Objectives
The refresh of all identified switches according to the CMDB managed by SAEC IT and BCX logistics

Implementation Approach

BCX will replace the current network infrastructure in a phased approach to reduce downtime to a minimum. Testing will be done before each phase to ensure configurations are in place. The change
management process will be followed to include all risks, downtime, roll-back plans, and asset management.
Phase 1 – Access Layer

Replace each access layer switches with its designed Huawei counterpart while still connected to the Cisco core switches. This will allow reconfiguration of each switch and minimum downtime, as the
same cables and cabinets can be re-used. This includes all 165 access layer switches and the bulk of the project.
All removed devices will be factory reset once moved to the designated storage area.

 Figure 1: Access Layer

Phase 2 – Distribution Layer


The new Huawei core switches will be set up to run in parallel with Cisco’s core. We will require extra power to run both old and new core switches in parallel. Distribution
switches will add redundancy to the entire network in the event of core failure.
The distribution switches will be implemented and dual connected directly to the Huawei core switches. Extra fibre patch cables will be required to connect access switches to
the distribution switches. Extra fibre patch cables will also be required depending on the location of patch panels at the designated distribution locations.
Once completed, the access layer switches can be moved to the distribution switches and moved off the Cisco core switches.

Entrepreneur Incubator Coach June 2018 to Dec 2018


Impact Hub

Coaching Experience:
As a coach I used this model to re-shape the thinking of the young budding entrepreneurs:

Part A: Use of Tools to Re-Shape Think and Engender Self-Belief

Psychological – It explores the client both inside


and out, their beliefs, values, expectations,
assumptions and psychological patterns that
guide how they show up in life or the workplace
Humanistic – It builds on the assumption that
clients are whole, unbroken and they have the
resources they need to make changes
Integrative – Drawn from a wide range of schools
of thought, it enables coaches to find their own
unique, psychologically grounded way of working
with clients
Holistic – Coaches learn to pay attention to all
aspects of a client’s experience – the cognitive,
affective, somatic, relational and behavioural
dimensions

PROJECT UNDERTAKINGS

RESOURCE MODEL DEVELOPMENT


Development of the resource model tool that analyses the resource requirements for a particular project based on supply vs. demand and on chosen contracting strategies. Assist in building and
upgrading of the enterprise project management (EPM) system. The main objective of the project is to provide reliable information on the state of resources and their use within Sasol Technology.
Present the current resource demand/supply picture and predict the future requirements based on the projects in the rolling capital plan (RCP). The model needs to be comprehensive, thereby
ensuring that all aspects regarding resource are adequately captured and available for analysis. The approach was as follows:

 Phase 1 - New tool with improved resource data as ratified by functional managers and portfolio executives, focusing only on Sasol Technology resources. Includes defined set of project
roles, different contracting strategies, and historical SAP data for comparison.
 Phase 2 – Updated to include business unit roles and contractor information.
 Phase 3 – Use the modelling experts in the Decision Support team to model the resource usage per role/per phase to improve the resource input data.

Service Provider Capacity Model Development

Develop a model that determines service provider performance with regard to metrics as follows:
 Safety
 Quality
 Schedule
 Cost
This model assists ensuring we have the right service providers for the right projects; assist is assessing their performance; and with negotiations between client and service providers for new projects.

EPC/M Service Provider Performance Index


Safety + Quality + Schedule + Costs = Performance Index *colours are for the performance index for
each service provider and are ranked
accordingly
Blue = best in class (top quartile 20% of
peers)
Green = good
Yellow = average
Orange = poor
Red = inadequate (bottom quartile 20% of

TODAY FUTURE PROCESS


Data Extraction Current data is manually extracted / gathered from Having identified the sources of data either:
various sources by a team of people  Structure source- a system e.g. SAP
 Unstructured source- a file maintained by person X
We can:-
 Put data out of structured sources
 Identify owner to supply data-supply either to a data steward or directly into
a database
Database Creation Gathered data is sorted in Excel sheets Put a single database in place that data suppliers or data stewards will enter data into.
The database becomes the feed for the following transformation
Data Transmission & Presentation Stored data is worked up according to client’s calculation, A model will exist that will take data structured as an output from the database. The
worked up into graphs and presented in PowerPoint model will transform the data and can either produce the final reports or feedback the
results to a reporting database to produce reports through a Business Intelligence portal.

CAPITAL PROJECT PROOF OF CONCEPT PROJECT


This project involves developing a template for Sasol Technology Project Management Teams as a guide on how to execute projects successfully at each phase of the project. This involves a 360-
degree check points for all documentation, process and governance procedures required for each type and size of project being executed by project teams from cradle to grave.
Due to the high failure rates of many capital projects; this tool assists in ensuring that front-end loading is done thoroughly, thus ensuring that for each phase gate readiness review the project is
sufficiently prepared to present a strong and viable case for the gate up to capital approval and beyond.

Selected contributions

 Collaborated with senior management and BI team on business process re-engineering (BPR) efforts gaining 5% in productivity and quality;
 Established preventative maintenance schedule, ensuring optimal equipment operation in the crucible workshop without costly downtime;
 Redesigned floor layout of crucible workshop achieving 10% improvement in overall productivity while reducing required manpower by at least
4%. This involved marking floors for empty and full crucibles respectively, working out the turning circle for the tractor to make the process
efficient as delays in moving the ladles led to metal freezing & most of it going to waste (Kanban Methodology);
 Implemented just-in-time strategy to optimize metal tapping and ladle transportation to cast-house. This was linked to the above work. This
meant tapping by crane instead of the conventional way via a crucible. This reduced tapping times, increased safety and tied to improved
crucible workshop area, let to lower turn-around times. The molten Aluminium was delivered to the cast house quicker and much more
volumes of material could be converted into the value-added products the organisation produced;

Senior Metallurgical Engineer ………………………………………………………


De Beers Consolidated Mines (Venetia Mine), Musina, Limpopo

Selected contributions

 Commissioned the Paste Thickening Plant for the Water Recovery section in line with government regulations for slimes dams. By having a
denser sedimentation process, the material from the settling tanks could be pumped to the slimes dams and also used to build the walls to
prevent seepage. This was a very important sustainability project to both protect the environment and also ensure that the organisation
continues its operations;
 Devised a plan to improve productivity via a time study for Optical Sorting Project. The team recovered 3500 carats instead of the mandated
2000 carats. This contributed to the established gain-share scheme. This was one of the big five initiatives of De Beers. The project was called
Optical Sorting using a machine hired from IST Technik. The whole idea of recovery was that the machine separated diamonds from other
material when a light shone through the diamond. The important thing was to ensure that material was dry, as water particles would have also
been perceived as diamonds. This meant that any material that had a water particle would be sorted into the diamond stream.
a. Time constraints: the project took place initially in the winter months and there was very little sunshine. This meant that it took
extra long to dry the material before processing it through the Optical Sorter. We asked the security to allow us to leave
material overnight drying out in the dump. The other time constraint was due to the fact that same team had to still sort the
absolute diamonds by hand from other material that had similar features to diamonds;
b. Security regulations: we had one security that assisted us during the project. The presence of security was important, as this
was an area deemed to be red area due to high concentration of diamond material. The main problem came up when the
collection drum of material was full and had to be taken into the building to the volt. This meant that the machine be stopped,
and everyone gets into the building so that nobody is left alone in the dump to be tempted to steal a diamond. It took +/-
20mnutes to fill up a bag with material. Due to the fact that the whole team had to leave the area, most of the time was

37

wasted taking the drum up to the volts. Within one hour, only one drum was processed, and the rest of the hour went to
waste. We negotiated with security to install a camera in the optical sorter to ensure that while others took the drum to the
volt, the rest of the team could continue to process further material;
i. The other challenge was when we had to calibrate the machine with the diamonds already sorted from the normal
diamond process. This meant that we had to declare how many diamonds left the building and also ensure that all
the diamonds were returned thereafter. If there were any missing, disciplinary action would have been taken. We
made sure we maintained constant communication with security of all our activities and report any problems that
might have arisen. This helped especially if we did not recover all the diamonds that we collected for calibration
purposes;
c. Difficult material to treat: Due to the Red Kimberlite material mined, it presented a problem of being flaky and caused the
machine to shoot haphazardly to a point where it has to be re-booted. This caused a lot of delays and we counteracted this by
dividing the team into day and night shift to process more drums of material.

 Engineered a way of purging spent (used up) fine Ferrosilicon (FeSi) from the fines stream to the course stream. This was based on the
understanding that spent fine FeSi has similar characteristics as course FeSi. This meant a saving on the usage of course FeSi. There are two
streams, course and fine, in the area called DMS (dense medium separation). FeSi is the agent that separates diamond-bearing material from
gangue material. Fine FeSi contained 90% microns of fine material while course FeSi contained 60-70% microns of fine material. By being spent,
fine FeSi had the same number of microns as course FeSi. I made a proposal to purge the spent fine FeSi from the fine stream toward the
course stream and it could be used there. Course FeSi was the more expensive of the two. By reducing the consumption of course FeSi, it
reduced the cost of production of diamonds from the course streams;

 Optimised the Magnetic Separators in the dense medium separation (DMS) area, which reduced FeSi losses by at least 10%;
 Optimised the Magnetic Roll Separators in the Red Area (Diamond Recovery), which improved the catchments of diamonds into the correct
streams. This involved doing calculations of the slide positions, which would result in higher catchments of diamonds according to the strength
of the magnet. Non-diamond bearing material is magnetic and thus working out the optimal positioning of the slide ensured that an
improvement of 30% diamonds going into the right stream was achieved;
 Investigated feasibility of and applied the Split On-line Camera Technology used to analyse particle size distribution and provide live feed. This
involved placing the cameras at specific exit points of critical equipment that gave an idea of their efficiencies. This improved the results
provided by laboratory and served as secondary information;

 Endeavoured to increase plant utilisation by performing a study on overall plant utilisation initially on all conveyors in the plant. By collecting,
analysing and collating each section’s data, I was able to ascertain the historic and current OPU’s (overall plant utilisations) and began with
some Kaizen activities to remove some of the bottle-necks. This improved the OPU from 81% to 95%. This was achieved by holding a workshop
with shift supervisors using the RCA methodology (Root Cause Analysis).
