Combining analytics with significant site presence to create long-term impact

MineLens benchmarks compared the mine’s current equipment, labor, and cost performance with those of its peers so that improvement opportunities could be identified, quantified, and prioritized:

• MineLens was used to provide a baseline consistent across sites and to identify potential improvement areas to support initiative generation
• Expert site visits and interviews ensured that the technical complexities of the pit were incorporated into the analysis
• MineLens experts participated in workshops and sessions with operational teams

MineLens provided the operation with valuable information:

• A compilation of a transformation plan with actions, targets, and impact
• MineLens report that could be quoted for reference at the site in the future
• Constructed value-driver trees that showed impact and provided the potential to run what-if situations
• A fast understanding of mining processes and areas to dive into and investigate
• Support for “across sites” ideas, sharing within the group
