In a capital-intensive, high-risk business like mining, asset lifecycle management is
critical. Maximum uptime and efficiency at minimal cost is key. Visibility and control
of project costs is also vital. And, of course, to be globally competitive, mining
companies must achieve operational and maintenance excellence.
The optimal management and running of
mining assets is not only mission-critical, but
also under constant scrutiny from shareholders
and regulatory bodies.
Companies must now work harder for every
ton produced as easy-to-access reserves are
becoming scarcer. Mines are increasingly in
remote locations or areas where extraction
operations are more challenging, leading to
increased cost and complexity.
The industry is responding by combining
new technology and streamlined business
processes to deliver groundbreaking results.
Guidelines such as the British Standards
Institution's (BSI) Publicly Available
Specification for the management of physical
assets (PAS 55) help companies apply
structured practices to their asset management.
Traditional asset management activities
are thereby evolving into a comprehensive
standards-driven approach across organizations.
This helps to optimize production and
increase asset uptime, reliability, and overall
asset performance.

A modern mining value chain only runs sustainably through close integration of
operations, maintenance, and logistics activities. For efficient asset management and
maximum returns, mining companies must streamline operational and maintenance
processes with end-to-end business process integration and automation.
Maximize Return on Mining Assets
To optimize asset performance and maximize
return, mining companies need to introduce
standardized and integrated business processes,
such as those described by the PAS 55 standard.
An integrated digital-mining environment
features tightly integrated operations and
maintenance processes, supported closely by
related activities in finance, HR, procurement,
risk, and compliance.
Mining companies must also improve overall
equipment effectiveness through better
visibility of mining and asset operations, better
management of capital and asset portfolios,
and efficient asset maintenance.
Also, closer integration with parts suppliers,
engineering companies, and contract miners
will reduce the owner’s risk and cost.
To achieve higher return on assets, it is critical
to establish a holistic asset management
process through the entire asset lifecycle.
This must focus on project management,
asset maintenance, and production integrated
through accurate mine planning, scheduling,
and execution.

During tough economic times, it is vitally important to
make informed decisions that maintain a high return
on assets. With integrated portfolio, project, and asset
information management, you can assess opportunities,
prioritize projects, optimize execution, and assess
operational readiness.
With the right tools and insights, you can plan,
build, and commission assets. Despite fluctuating
market conditions and risks, you can set the
right priorities and manage complex interactions
among the many players involved in capital
projects. And you can prevent budget overruns,
delayed start-ups, inefficient data handovers by
contractors, and inefficient maintenance, repair,
and operations management once assets have
been commissioned.
Armed with integrated business planning,
portfolio prioritization and governance, and
capital project management, as well as asset
information management, visibility, and control,
you can optimize return on assets for your
mining operation.

Organizations can increase uptime, reduce process
variability, control maintenance costs, react more quickly
to process disruptions, and satisfy customers more
consistently when they have greater visibility into their
mining operations and asset performance.
If managers and executives had greater
visibility into site processes, what could they
gain? What if a vice president of mining
operations could take in, at a glance, the
real-time status of multiple mine, processing,
and port operations? What if that executive
could drill into operational details to see
real-time information about production rates
and delays, asset utilization, quality and
safety metrics, and energy consumption and
emission? Or, when seeing an exceptional
situation, drill further, gaining insight into the
actual performance of individual machines
in a remote mining facility?
This could be taken further, with supervisors
and managers directing operations that are
thousands of miles away, in real time.
With insights and control like this, mining
companies have the ability to manage mining
operations more effectively, improve asset
utilization and plant performance, achieve
higher product consistency and quality, lower
costs and increase profits, and improve safety.

Mining asset uptime is vital when production is the
lifeblood of your business. Forward-thinking companies
integrate, automate, and unify all asset-related data,
business processes, and analytics to enable holistic
operations and maintenance.
Maximizing asset reliability and return on
investment requires a proactive approach to
maintenance that is managed effectively and
executed by qualified professionals who can
quickly and readily access everything required
to complete their work.
Best-run companies enable holistic asset
operations and maintenance management
by integrating, automating, and unifying
all maintenance-related data, processes,
and reporting.
They increase uptime by establishing and
enforcing proactive maintenance. They reduce
costs by facilitating supplier collaboration,
enforcing contracts with suppliers, and minimizing
repairs and replacements. And they improve
maintenance efficiency and effectiveness by
documenting plans, best practices, task lists,
and bills of materials.

Maintaining a dynamic mining supply chain in a volatile
environment requires accurate, clear, and globally
transparent visibility into operations and asset management.
Establishing clear performance expectations, metrics,
and operations monitoring enables effective coordination
of all resources.
Collecting and integrating real-time mining and
processing data from equipment for operations
monitoring is the foundation for visibility and
continuous improvement.
Providing real-time operating information
against expected performance to all stake-
holders in the value chain enables manage-
ment to shift operations and employees at
every level to optimize decision making.
Monitoring mining equipment performance and
effective asset management allows for close
coordination of operational planning and
equipment maintenance to maximize utilization,
increase return on assets, and mitigate the risk
of unexpected downtime and equipment
damage.

Schedule existing maintenance plans within a specific time frame. SAP Business Suite
software now uses the power of SAP HANA to automatically perform a preselection of
due maintenance plans. This helps ensure that the software only processes
maintenance plans that are due, and delivers the result much faster in a user-friendly
format. It increases mining asset utilization and reduces unplanned asset downtime,
helping to ensure up-to-date scheduling information in maintenance operations.
It is now possible to schedule maintenance multiple times a day. This results in
up-to-date scheduling information in maintenance operations and leads to improved
performance as well as safe asset usage.

“With the availability of quality information from our SAP solution, we are
now able to set proper performance targets and meet them.”
Mohammed K. Othman, Manager, Maintenance Planning, Dubai Aluminium
Company Limited
Dubai Aluminium Company Limited (DUBAL) is Dubai’s
industrial flagship and one of the largest nonoil contributors
to the economy. Its modern smelter produces almost 1 million
metric tons of high-quality molten aluminum per year. DUBAL
has aggressive growth plans: by 2015 the company aims to be
one of the top five aluminum producers in the world.
The company knew it needed business software that would help achieve
growth, not hinder it, and so it launched an investigation into modern
solutions. The SAP ERP application quickly rose to the top because of
its comprehensive and highly integrated functionality – especially for
maintenance of process plants, specific to DUBAL’s business. With its
reliability, scalability, and continual enhancements, SAP ERP was also
the safe choice as DUBAL’s platform for the long-range future.
