IS YOUR COMPLEX SUPPLY

CHAIN HIDING POTENTIAL

PROFITS?

Supply chain efficiency and cost containment are more vital than ever in today’s mining industry. With Perfect Order Industry Solution Experience based on Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE® platform, you take control of your mining supply chain by improving visibility and predictability, from forecasting demand to fulfilment. Along the way, demand and transport capacity can change, but thanks to a holistic view of what’s occurring, you have the agility to make the right adjustments to keep everything on track.

With Perfect Order, critical infrastructure constraints and labor shortages become opportunities to significantly transform the efficiency and profitability of your mining supply chain. Perfect Order offers an end-to-end mining supply chain solution, from the mine to ports through to shipping. Mining organizations can visualize all activities in the network and optimize the flow of goods through supply chains. As a result, opportunities to minimize costs and maximize profits are presented to planners in real time, contributing to a healthier bottom line.

Perfect Order can help you maximize incremental margin in your mining and resources supply chain by using real-time KPI-driven integrated planning that’s connected to both your supply operations and your customers.

DEMAND AND FULFILMENT MANAGEMENTMarket volatility is inevitable in the mining business, from factors like fluctuating demand and pricing caused by shorter contracts and dynamic spot markets. With Demand and Fulfilment Management process experience, you can model and simulate supply and demand to ensure that supply chain capacity is achievable. Powerful statistical forecasting combined with historical factors and market intelligence helps ensure that a robust, but flexible, marketing strategy can be developed.

Centralized control of contractual data enables you to plan fulfilment of orders with minimal costs and penalties, while maximizing the value from your supply chain by capitalizing on spot opportunities.

Demand and Fulfilment Management provides key capabilities, including management of demand versus production forecast; management of demand quantities and qualities; evaluation of spot opportunities; management of demand schedules and penalties; and measurement of quality and adherence.

• Update forecasts automatically when market conditions change or new intelligence is available, creating better forecasts faster.

• Improve shipment forecasting by gathering customer forecasts or employing predictive intelligence that leverages historical data and causal factors, such as price and GDP.

• Maximize port infrastructure and space utilization, and minimize transport costs by centralizing storage and control of contract data and automatic updates to schedules.

• Reduce penalties by optimizing allocation of mine supply to ship demand, including optimized blend.

• Maximize fulfilment and customer satisfaction by matching supply and demand by taking into account resource capacities to manage fulfilment and identify spot quantities.

INVENTORY MANAGEMENT AND BLENDING

Inventory Management and Blending process experience helps you satisfy demand and set optimal targets across the pit-to-port supply chain by maximizing utilization of resources and minimizing delays. You also minimize costs for product storage (stockpiles) and re-handling. At the same time, you reduce penalties as you create an optimal supply chain through direct

control over all planning decisions.

Inventory Management and Blending provides your organization with true integrated planning to make more informed, faster decisions about how to best leverage stockpiles, even as transport availability changes. With Inventory Management and Blending, you can plan complex, blended product delivery across a distributed network of resources in your mining supply chain.

• Add margin and minimize penalties in contracts by managing your blends and run-of-mine products.

• Minimize fulfilment and shipping costs by creating “cargoes” based on available stock at port.

• Maximize demand fulfilment by visualizing train status to make rapid adjustments when schedules or availability change.

• Link ship load plans to stockpiles to further maximize demand fulfilment with the most effective allocations.

TRANSPORTATION PLANNINGConstraints are increasing as the demands placed on infrastructure and logistics providers grow. Using Transportation Planning process experience, mining organizations can optimize logistics planning to help ensure efficient use of transportation networks in collaboration with partners, and infrastructure and logistics providers.

With Transportation Planning, you can optimize the road, rail, and sea supply network to achieve maximum throughput, minimum costs, and minimum penalties. This is achieved through a single system that provides a single, holistic view of your entire supply-chain’s transportation network.

• Improve how you plan and schedule your road, rail, and shipping networks through integrated planning, optimized product sourcing, managed product quality, controlled inventory, and the appropriate allocation of cargo.

• Amend workforce and transportation schedules in real time to accommodate network disruptions, sudden change in demand and supply, and any other events that impact day-to-day operations.

• Make reliable forecasts of demand, supply, and capacity to anticipate logistics requirements, minimize constraints, and manage risk.

• Create fully attainable plans, achieved through real-time collaboration with your organization’s departments and external service providers.

PORT MANAGEMENTAs the demands placed on mining infrastructure increase, optimization is the number-one priority of ports and terminals for customers in the mining industry. Port Management process experience equips you and your planning department with the tools and meaningful data needed to make the most of your facility. With it, you receive insights to your business to generate plans that reflect and can adapt to changing market conditions, and schedules that reflect the reality of day-to-day operations.

• Determine completion times of yard jobs using live-data from yard machines, stockpiles, and ships.

• Plan for routine maintenance, prepare for and minimize the impact of unexpected maintenance.

• Manage the complexity of shipping constraints such as tidal effects, tug and shipping crew availability, and berth capacity.

• Model stockpiles and coordinate with logistics providers to determine and optimize capacity.

• Address bottlenecks and maximize throughput of the rail corridor.
