$50m in value was identified through the increase in asset availability of a contract miners mine fleet
The Background
Contract mining organisation with seven Australian project locations was suffering from the market down turn and an increasing cost base
The organisation required support to identify key initiatives that would both reduce cost, streamline process and improve asset availability
Previous internal lead studies had not gained traction with a low level of stakeholder engagement and commitment
How the Siecap team helped
The Siecap project team engaged heavily at a site and stakeholder level to ensure all issues were captured and buy-in was obtained
Key stakeholders from plant and maintenance, operations, supply and finance were involved in the development of opportunities and validation of the estimated benefits
This also included the review and redesign of how the work order management process should be managed to streamline planning visibility
The Results
Revenue Improvements: Improved asset availability through more effective spares and materials support
Cost Reductions: Production and operating cost reductions through increased asset availability and improved working capital
Facilitated the extraction of bulks from packages and ‘options and extras’ from mobile equipment
Standardisation: Standardisation of core processes to improve support services, process confidence and repeatability
