Morro do Ipê and Porto Sudeste: individual goals at scale with Stratws

Morro do Ipê and Porto Sudeste are two mining and logistics operations that together move millions of tons of iron ore a year. Managing individual goals at that scale, with thousands of employees, exposes any generic tool fast.

At the center of that management is the Professional Grade Ten Program (PN10): an individual goal system with more than 1,400 performance panels and about 8,000 indicators, tracked monthly or every two months across every level of the organization.

I can't picture a modern company managing without individual indicators. And that's not possible without a system like Stratws.

How does Stratws cascade goals down to operators?

Stratws lets the company cascade goals from directors down to operators, with indicators connected across levels. Each employee accesses their own panel, plus the panels of colleagues, managers, directors, and the CEO, including through kiosks installed in production areas.

That open access to information created a comparison between areas: seeing another team’s performance gives employees a concrete benchmark for their own results.

Beyond PN10, Stratws also manages the Zero Accident Program (PAZ) and the SER Program (Sustainability, Environment, and Social Responsibility). All three programs directly affect employees’ profit sharing, tracked in real time inside the platform.

Results at Morro do Ipê and Porto Sudeste with Stratws

With Stratws, performance management started running on concrete numbers:

Individual performance scores started feeding into employee performance reviews, connecting the goal routine to the Careers and Competency Assessment program. Automatic alerts for off-target goals trigger action plans, FCA, or PDCA cycles logged directly in the platform.

Integration with the HR system automates role and internal transfer updates, keeping panels current with every promotion or restructuring. Governance also got tighter: goals are locked, editable only under an approved request, with documented evidence for audits.

Siteware’s Customer Success team also organized benchmarks with other clients to deepen use of the PDCA module and support rolling out Quality Control Circles (QCCs) at both companies.

Morro do Ipê and Porto Sudeste’s experience shows what changes when thousands of individual goals stop depending on loose spreadsheets and start running on a single system, with access rules, documented evidence, and a direct link to profit sharing.
