During the supply chain planning processes in a mine operation, several elements need to be considered such as maintenance shuts schedules, system constraints, material available, and production needs. Being able to anticipate mid-term maintenance challenges in the mine plans through effective insights and adequate use of baselines could help the short-term operational maintenance teams to prioritize Defect Elimination campaigns. By creating a bridge between the maintenance tactical and strategical approaches, operations will have new elements to identify main reasons for deviations, prioritize work capacity and budgets on main contributors, and use continuous improvement processes to implement effective and sustainable solutions.
