Abstract: Method to perform an operation to prioritize capability gaps, the operation comprising determining, for each of a plurality of business objectives, a weighted effectiveness, criticality, and differentiation (ECD) score, and determining operation of one or more processors, a priority value for each of a plurality of capability gaps based on: (i) the weighted ECD score of each business objective, and (ii) a degree of support the respective capability gap provides towards fulfilling each business objective, wherein each priority value reflects a degree of importance of a capability subject to the respective capability gap.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for maintaining predetermined speed ratios between at least two motions are described. The speeds of the motive power sources for the motions are controlled by signals having values proportional to the ratio of those speeds, and in the alternative, if lower in value, reference signal which may be generated by an operator. The invention is described in connection with its application in a power shovel where it controls the ratio of crowd speed to hoist speed.
