7d license massachusetts manual. Caterpillar Fleet Production And Cost Analysis Software_FPC_v5.3 Fleet Production & Cost Analysis (FPC) is a PC software tool designed to estimate the productivity, cost, and time required for a wide variety of earthmoving or other material handling operation’s moving material from one location to another over one or more courses. FPC takes in to account the following factors; * Site speed limits * Haul road condition - Gradients/Rolling resistance/distances * Waiting times * Machine - Availability/Bucket Fill Factor/Cycle times * Site – Material Density * Required Volumes * Operator Efficiency From this information the software provides an accurate prediction of current and future production capabilities.

The FPC program and evaluation allows productivity and efficiency improvements to be made without compromise to Health & Safety. Safe travel speeds, braking, payload and operator technique are all assessed to ensure a realistic production rate can be achieved safely. In addition to this, many of the recommendations that we will make as a result of conducting FPC will have positive H&S implications. For example, flatter and better maintained haul roads will result in less wear and a reduced likelihood of accidents. The removal of bottlenecks will reduce the potential for accidents.

Salesman's Toolbox (STB) This suite of software applications is developed for use by Caterpillar and is used to estimate and validate the production capability and cost of a project across a variety of Construction, Earthmoving, Waste and Mining applications. The suite is designed for machine application experts, dealer staff and customers to evaluate their production, fleet and purchasing decisions.

The tools can be ordered as a package or individually through your Cat ® dealer. Fleet Production and Cost Analysis (FPC) provides the means to simulate hauler cycle times in applications that are designed for the user by following the course created from their sites. Cat Cycle Timer (CCT) enables the user to collect cycle times using a laptop. Users can choose dozing, trenching/excavating, truck loading and hauling (loader and/or full cycle). DozSim™ is a dozer simulation program that estimates Cat dozer productivity (D6 through D11) in surface mining applications. Motor Grader Calculator (MGC) calculates the number of Motor Graders needed to do the job given a set of application conditions and parameters.

Contact your local Cat Dealer for more information and to order the Salesman's Toolbox. Global Supervisor Application Training The Supervisor Application Training Module is designed to provide training in the areas of jobsite safety, production efficiencies, proper equipment operation, facility maintenance, machine selection per application and performance benchmarks. These sessions will accommodate a minimum of 6 to 16 attendees for operation and maintenance supervisors, planners and engineers. Attendees will be able to conduct site evaluations and identify improvement opportunities. Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to: • Analyze different areas of a mine site operation including, road building and equipment application • Identify opportunities for lowering costs and increasing production • Elevate production supervisor’s knowledge base in a variety of areas impacting overall productivity Contact Equipment Training Solutions for more information on scheduling and pricing. JOBSITE ANALYSIS Upon request our Global Application Consultants are available to evaluate your jobsite. Our experts will analyze and work with your team to recommend site-specific solutions aimed at improving production, lowering cost and enhancing safety.

Production analysis and job assessments are a service that Caterpillar provides to our customers to improve their operations and get more from their investment. These job studies typically require two days onsite plus a couple of additional days for report writing. Our teams focus on a number of variables and analyses such as: • Vehicle/fleet productivity • Loading/hauling systems • Equipment operation reviews • Loading tool sizing/matching • Payload weighing/productivity Contact your local Cat Dealer for more information on scheduling a job study.
