            Abstract : 
Achieving a high level of Delivery Assurance is critical, but a difficult task for plant managers and engineers on site. In this paper, a step-by-step model was proposed to help making decisions for improving delivery assurance. After introducing the model in the second part, steps were discussed with general “inputs”, “methods & techniques” and “outputs”, separately. Besides, a case study was shown in the fourth part, to demonstrate its use in mining industry.
