MWA Spring Workshop May 2017 Comparison
MWA Spring Workshop May 2017 Lessons Learned Need to use space inside and outside of bin for bulking materials Need more time to empty and move the bin Leveling the bin a challenge on gravel, place bin on a pad Bin width affects number of drums
MWA Spring Workshop May 2017 Lessons Learned Promote more generic dates to give flexibility on moving the bin Keep laptop charged, no power in bin Walls are magnetic, use them to hang drum labels, procedures, etc. Budget a victim of our success Don’t launch two programmes at the same time!
