La Esperanza: Beyond Automation
內容大綱
La Esperanza was a mining unit owned by POFCO, a company with its headquarters in China and with operations in Peru, dedicated to the development of gold and copper projects. On November 19, 2015, Julio Soto, operations manager at La Esperanza, was getting ready to travel to the city of Lima, Peru, to attend a board of directors meeting, where he would present an "autonomous" transportation project. He considered it "an alternative that would boost efficiency, safety, and productivity in the mine." Despite his enthusiasm, he had some concerns; in fact, the decision implied dismissing the workers with the greatest seniority and legitimacy in the company, which could affect the relationship of the company with the workers union and the community. He was aware that his decision might also put his own position at risk. He was worried and knew he had to weigh his concerns before the meeting: What would be the impact of the project on the culture of La Esperanza? Would automation actually be profitable? Soto knew a tense conversation was awaiting him.
