Mining assets are complex operations that require a well-functioning supply chain. However, many struggle to manage their supply chains effectively due to the use of multiple legacy systems that are not integrated. This can lead to inefficiencies, errors, and delays.
Our client organisation was using a variety of systems to manage their supply chain, including a legacy mainframe system, a warehouse management system, and a fleet management system. This made it difficult to track inventory levels, schedule deliveries, and manage assets.
Our collaborative approach:
We worked closely with the client team to develop a cloud-based solution that integrated data from all of their legacy systems into a single, web-based tool. This gave schedulers a better understanding of the current state of the supply chain and allowed them to make more informed decisions.
The outcomes of this approach included:
- Increased visibility: The new tool provided a clutter-free summary view of stockpiles, trains, and equipment for a 48-hour period. This gave schedulers a better understanding of the current state of the supply chain and allowed them to make more informed decisions.
- Improved efficiency: Schedulers now save an average of 4 hours per week by no longer having to pull data manually from multiple systems. This frees up their time to focus on more strategic tasks.
- Reduced errors: The new tool has helped to reduce errors in the scheduling process. This is because the data is now centralised and validated, which minimizes the risk of human error.
