Our methods and strategies have been implemented with mining and resources companies including BHPBilliton, Rio Tinto, OK Tedi, Anglo Coal, Nyrstar and HWE Mining.

Services we have provided for Mining & Resources include

• Use RCM to develop the maintenance strategy.
• Use RCM modelling to optimise maintenance frequency and activities.
• Criticality Assessment
• Use Reliability Centred Maintenance methodology to develop maintenance strategy for trucks and shovels.
• Generate resource predictions for individual machines and entire fleet.
• Reliability block modelling both individual machines and systems using AvSim to assess availability and critical assemblies.
• Providing strategy outputs to input in MinOpSim (MINe OPerations SIMulator) to link maintenance strategy to production output expectations.
• Developing an understanding of what the value proposition was and valuing improvements in reliability through design, commissioning and operation.
• Manage the risks proactively to maintain control of the equipment rather than have the equipment control us.
• Use the RCM process as a basis to capture the signs of failure or failure modes (as knowledge centre) to feed the maintenance strategy and the future design and operating parameters.
