TacminMadini’s Project First Response is a structured service designed to support business improvement and recover distressed mining projects. Whether the challenge is systemic inefficiency, commercial disputes, stalled progress, or underperforming contractors, this service provides the clarity, structure, and momentum needed to move forward. Delivered through four focused categories—Business Improvement Audits, Claims & Commercial Alignment, Resource & Realignment Flow, and Recovery Planning & Deployment—Project First Response enables mining owners, contractors, and investors to strengthen governance, resolve disputes, and restore delivery confidence before further damage occurs.

Operational validation	Independent review of practices, equipment capability, resource adequacy, and cost structures, ensuring operations are aligned with actual site realities and recognised industry best practice.
Performance benchmarking	Establishes clear, data-driven standards for productivity, cost, and schedules. By simulating mining environments and operational conditions, we define what is realistically achievable and sustainable.
Risk identification	Provides sharper visibility of cost, schedule, and resource risks. Our audits deliver targeted recommendations to re-engineer plans, reduce exposure, and strengthen operational resilience.
Governance confidence	Supplies boards, investors, and leadership with actionable insights that validate current practices, clarify contractor vs owner-mining trade-offs, and reinforce long-term governance confidence.

Independent validation	Objective assessment of claims and exposures using first-principles cost validation and benchmarking, ensuring accuracy and credibility in every evaluation.
Transparent resolution	Clear, defensible analysis that separates entitlement from exposure, enabling faster resolution of disputes and reducing unnecessary tension between parties.
Contract alignment	Practical recommendations that reduce legal exposure, strengthen contractual compliance, and realign commercial terms to reflect project realities.
Continuity restored	By resolving disputes quickly and fairly, delivery flow is re-established, confidence is rebuilt, and project momentum is protected.

Operational efficiency	On-site analysis of crews, equipment, and workflows to pinpoint inefficiencies and uncover where capacity is being lost.
Workforce utilisation	Optimises current assets and personnel by reducing idle time, minimising rework, and ensuring resources are deployed where they add most value.
Coordination clarity	Closes gaps between owner and contractor teams, aligning schedules and work fronts to strengthen collaboration and accountability.
Momentum recovery	By refining existing inputs rather than adding new ones, projects accelerate toward recovery targets with minimal disruption.

Diagnostic clarity	Rapid identification of root causes behind delays and performance gaps, providing a clear understanding of what is hindering delivery.
Structured framework	Development of a short-term, site-specific recovery plan with measurable actions tailored to available resources and prevailing conditions.
Risk mitigation	Practical measures that reduce the likelihood of further slippage, rework, or escalation, ensuring recovery efforts remain on track.
Stability restored	Reinforced work fronts, coordinated tasks, and improved communication re-establish control, visibility, and stakeholder confidence.
