Planning Optimization - Summary Wining

Solution

Key features:

• Can be applied across entire supply chain

• Includes mining, minerals, processing, concentration

• Planning duration divided into time periods

• Optimizer will determine material movements, what to

process, transport and blending of materials to form final

products for each period

• Can optimize for maximum profit, or maximum revenue,

or maximum throughput, allowing for availability

(maintenance)

• Can optimise a single location (e.g. supply chain), or

transfer between nodes of global network

• For complex systems, clients looking to maximise

profitability, with openness to optimization approach

Business benefits:

• Can rapidly explore alternative options, strategies

• High quality solution maximising profit achievable by supply chain

Planning Optimization – Case Study Wining

Solution

Project:

• Multiple mine, multiple product coal blending supply chain

• Supply of coal from pit, processing at the mine to form

mine products, blending through to port for sale

• 3 month and 12 month planning horizons

• Client objective is to maximise profit, meeting contracted

sales on quality spec, and maximising high value spot

sales

• Multi-product blending, with client looking to maximise

profitability, with openness to optimization approach

Proposed Solution:

• Spiral Planning Optimization for 3 month and 12

month horizons together with Ampla

• Integration with mine planning to receive mine feed

from pit, and with Ampla to receive starting inventory

tonnes and qualities

• Optimization on profit, including mining and

processing cost, transport cost, revenue from sales

Capacity Scheduling - Summary Wining

Solution

Key features:

• Can be applied from mine ROM stock through to shipping


• Planning duration divided into time periods

• Planner will determine material movements, what to process,

transport and blending of materials to form final products for

each period

• Streamlined manual and automated workflows to allow rapid

construction of plan

• Simple, easy to use, highly configurable, with rich graphical

environment

• For straightforward to complex systems, clients looking for rapid

easy means to explore options

Business benefits:

• Can rapidly explore alternative options, strategies

• Fast to learn and to use, can readily see impact of changes

Capacity Scheduling – Case Study Wining

Solution

Project:

• Multiple mine, multiple product iron ore blending supply

chain

• Supply of processed iron ore products at the mine, railed to

form blended products at port for sale

• 3 month and 12 month planning horizons

• Client objective is to manage inventory build-up at each

mine, meet port demand and ship products on spec

• Existing in-house MES inventory tracking

• Moderate blend problem with client aiming for manual

control, ease of use and ability to rapidly explore options

Proposed Solution:

• Spiral Capacity Scheduling for 2 week and 3 month horizons

• Integration with mine planning to receive mine production

output, and with MES system to receive starting inventory

tonnes and qualities

• Daily planned railing and blending of products, and loading to

ship

• Period comprised of scheduled activities

• Scheduler will determine material movements, what to process,

transport and blending of materials to form final products

• Streamlined manual and automated workflows to allow rapid

construction of schedule

• Simple, easy to use, highly configurable, with rich graphical

environment

• For short term scheduling, clients looking for rapid easy means

to create schedules that will meet planned targets

• Fast to learn and to use, can readily see impact of changes

Personas

User Value Proposition

Value chain

Managers

Balances the production targets across the value chain to maximize profitability

USE CASE: Managers of the plant, rail and port should focus on meeting their set

production targets only and place their efforts on achieving lowest cost possible.

PlannerCreate optimized plans to meet business KPI’s based on Value Chain constraints

USE CASE: Where throughput and profitability are optimization objectives, Spiral

analytics allows planner to choose a scenario that best meets both KPI’s

SchedulerReceives optimized targets from the Plan

Create scenarios by combining targets with reconciled actuals from Ampla MES

USE CASE: Able to reschedule upon notification of exception that impacts Plan

Production

Manager

Review, validate and execute activities

USE CASE: Removes the need for spreadsheets to schedule activities based on

targets & shift dependencies. This is all taken into account in Spiral Scheduling


Personas

User Value Proposition

MetallurgistsProvides visibility of inventories and material qualities in near-real time

USE CASE: Accurate metal accounting of work-in-progress materials allow for

fine tuning of the process to maximize metal recoveries and minimize losses

Business

Improvement

Managers

Capture root causes of unscheduled downtimes and production delays

USE CASE: By analyzing historical downtime root causes and quantifying the

financial impact of these delays, a business case for capital to remedy this

recurring problem can be made.

IT ManagersReduce/Eliminate Spreadsheets

Reduce Integration, risk of errors and overall TCO

Increases overall maintainability & reliability

Control Systems

Managers

Enterprise Standards Platform to manage multiple vendor devices

Process Simulation underpins control check in/out and operator training systems

USE CASE: A Common Control Room with Abnormal Situation Management HMI

and Alarms across multiple vendor devices can be managed in one environment
