Unlocking value with performance diagnostics
Mining operations evolve continuously and over time gradual changes in work-practice, lower equipment reliability, aging technology and stagnant systems can lead to underperformance and suboptimal returns on investment. AMC Performance Diagnostics™, underpinned by the world’s largest site-level validated benchmarking database, rapidly provides owners and operators with comprehensive cost and productivity comparisons to their global peers. Opportunities to unlock value are identified through this process and prioritized according to benefit. This presentation uses case study information to show that by distilling practical mining insights from the vast amounts of information routinely collected by mining operations, hundreds of millions of dollars of available value has been uncovered.
