Mining Asset Optimization: Results, Case Studies & Lessons Learned (Part 3)

Measuring and optimizing asset performance are a must in the mining and metals industry. Faced with the pressure to extend equipment lifespan, improve overall performance and the need to remain competitive, companies must revisit and adapt their strategies to align their operations with best practices. This series of three publications will present three strategic elements to optimize asset performance and improve operational efficiency: 1. Data governance for performance indicators (KPIs) 2. Equipment downtime management 3. Adoption of new technologies We’ll also explore the key steps required for success and highlight the risks of inaction.
