 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 3 Mth 12
Mth
• 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
• Includes mining, minerals, processing, concentration
• 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:

 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 Short-term 2 Wk Medium-term 3 Mth

• 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

User Value Proposition

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

Create optimized plans to meet business KPI’s based on Value Chain constraints
Planner USE CASE: Where throughput and profitability are optimization objectives, Spiral
analytics allows planner to choose a scenario that best meets both KPI’s

Receives optimized targets from the Plan

Scheduler Create scenarios by combining targets with reconciled actuals from Ampla MES
USE CASE: Able to reschedule upon notification of exception that impacts Plan

Production Review, validate and execute activities

USE CASE: Removes the need for spreadsheets to schedule activities based on
Manager targets & shift dependencies. This is all taken into account in Spiral Scheduling

User Value Proposition

Provides visibility of inventories and material qualities in near-real time
Metallurgists 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 Capture root causes of unscheduled downtimes and production delays

USE CASE: By analyzing historical downtime root causes and quantifying the
Improvement financial impact of these delays, a business case for capital to remedy this
Managers recurring problem can be made.

Reduce/Eliminate Spreadsheets
IT Managers Reduce Integration, risk of errors and overall TCO
Increases overall maintainability & reliability

Enterprise Standards Platform to manage multiple vendor devices

Control Systems Process Simulation underpins control check in/out and operator training systems
Managers USE CASE: A Common Control Room with Abnormal Situation Management HMI
and Alarms across multiple vendor devices can be managed in one environment
