[Case Study]


RELIABILITY AND MAINTENANCE IMPROVEMENTS

Client: Coal Mine in New South Wales, Australia

RELIABILITY IMPROVEMENTS RESULT IN $35M IN ANNUAL REVENUE GROWTH FOR AUSTRALIAN
COAL MINE

CHALLENGE:

An underground, Australian coal mine set out to improve its unsteady production
output while keeping fixed cost unchanged.

RESULT:

In a 12-month period, average downtime was reduced from 82 minutes to 16 minutes
a shift for Development Continuous Miners and from 88 minutes to 35 minutes for
Extraction Continuous Miners. By annualizing the production increase, each
minute/shift is worth $330,000/ year for Extraction Miners and $260,000/year for
Development Miners. The total increase in reliability provided an increased
production output worth $34.9 Million/ year AUS.
