Each month, PT Halmahera Persada Lygend, a business unit of Harita Nickel, hosts Management Walkthrough (MWT) activities. In this activity, Harita Nickel and Lygend Resources Management went directly to see the situation and greet employees on-site.
The last MWT on August 26, 2024, was divided into two groups. The first group, led by General Manager Shi Wentang, along with the Technical Support Manager, Dian Kristiyanto, inspected the area from the Acid Plant to the Processing Residue Facility. Meanwhile, the second team, led by Xing Jinglong, Department Head of Production, and Technology Manager Jin Tao, focused on the Sulfate Nickel Plant and the Technology Laboratory.
This activity provides an excellent opportunity for field employees, known as Insan Harita, to engage directly with Top Management about various technical issues and Health, Safety, and Environmental (HSE) aspects.
“Alongside our management responsibility to continuously enhance operational excellence, we hope that the MWT activities will also offer moral support and communication channel to our employees,” explained Dian Kristiyanto, fondly known as Kris.
Kris added that the activities showcase the collaboration among nations at the Obi site, where Harita Nickel and Lygend Resources work together to improve operational excellence in a competitive nickel industry. The MWT reflects Harita Nickel's core values: Humility, as leaders assess areas for improvement in the field; Teamwork, seen in collaboration across departments and nations; and Accountability, where every MWT record contributes to collective improvement. Participants are encouraged to embrace evaluations and remain open to positive feedback.
During the MWT activities, the security department is also involved in assessing safety aspects to ensure that the work environment and company assets are secure.
“Building a strong HSE culture requires commitment from everyone, including management. The records from the MWT will be shared with all relevant parties, and follow-up actions will be monitored regularly,” added Kris.
Gatra Pinem, Business Control Improvement Manager, noted that the MWT is a key element of the Continuous Improvement spirit at Harita Nickel. “The MWT allows us to evaluate and improve our operational processes directly. By involving management and various departments, we promote continuous improvement and ensure that every step positively impacts the company,” explained Gatra.
Gatra added that through MWT, management also conducts evaluations on the implementation of 5S principles (sort, set in order, shine, standardize, and sustain) by directly observing operations in the field. These 5S principles serve as a critical foundation for Harita Nickel’s continuous improvement process, driving operational excellence across the board.
