Lever­age the finest tech­nolo­gies and exper­tise to opti­mise your min­ing operations.

Renoir Con­sult­ing and Uni­son Min­ing Consulting
Our Glob­al Part­ner for Min­ing Indus­try Consultation.

Against a back­drop of record com­mod­i­ty prices, the demands on the min­ing sec­tor have nev­er been greater. Ris­ing ener­gy costs, deep­er ore mines, more com­plex ore bod­ies, social and geopo­lit­i­cal risks — the com­plex­i­ties faced by the play­ers in this indus­try are multi-faceted. Min­ing com­pa­nies remain under excep­tion­al pres­sure to con­trol costs, height­en effi­cien­cy, and improve safe­ty performance.

With envi­ron­men­tal, social, and gov­er­nance (ESG) met­rics becom­ing a main­stream con­sid­er­a­tion for the indus­try, min­ing com­pa­nies are expect­ed to take a proac­tive stance in fight­ing cli­mate change and embed­ding ESG ideals into their businesses.

Tech­nolo­gies such as arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence, data sci­ence, and automa­tion are also evolv­ing rapid­ly, cre­at­ing inno­v­a­tive solu­tions that can opti­mise oper­a­tions. There’s an urgent need to adopt these tech­nolo­gies to dri­ve inno­va­tion and cre­ate mines of the future, but min­ing com­pa­nies face high costs and rocky imple­men­ta­tion initiatives.

We work with min­ing com­pa­nies to nav­i­gate this volatile envi­ron­ment by imple­ment­ing suc­cess­ful changes to oper­a­tions and build­ing capa­bil­i­ties that are cru­cial for them to thrive and succeed.

Our Min­ing Indus­try Expertise

Strat­e­gy and Oper­at­ing Model 

How do I increase through­put by reduc­ing lost time and waste? How do I improve plant and process con­trol to improve recov­er­ies? These are the ques­tions we can help you answer. Our areas of exper­tise include design­ing enhanced man­age­ment con­trol sys­tems, organ­i­sa­tion­al align­ment, turn­around pro­grammes, risk assess­ment, mit­i­ga­tion and man­age­ment, process improve­ment, and CPI, to name a few. 

Per­for­mance Management 

Estab­lish oper­a­tional KPIs to mon­i­tor and improve busi­ness per­for­mance through visu­al per­for­mance dash­boards, and review mech­a­nisms tailor-made for main­te­nance and sup­ply chain oper­a­tions. Addi­tion­al­ly, we also work with you to estab­lish defined roles and respon­si­bil­i­ty state­ments such as RACI. 

Capex Management 

We run pro­cure­ment spend­ing and diag­nos­tics to iden­ti­fy cost sav­ings on fixed assets across glob­al oper­a­tions. This includes sup­ply chain matu­ri­ty assess­ments (struc­ture, process, and sys­tems) to tar­get reduc­tions in the total cost of ownership. 

Safety 

Lost Time Injuries (LTIs) and fatal­i­ties have con­se­quences beyond the imme­di­ate harm to indi­vid­u­als and loss of pro­duc­tion. Accord­ing to research, the root cause is often­times human error. There­fore, min­ing and met­als pro­duc­ers need to demon­strate sus­tain­able improve­ment in safe­ty KPIs or risk rep­u­ta­tion­al risk and share price down­grad­ing from ESG-sensitive investors. We can help you do that. 

Dig­i­tal Transformation 

Using the sys­tems you already own, we sig­nif­i­cant­ly improve mate­ri­als man­age­ment and increase ser­vice lev­els whilst reduc­ing work­ing cap­i­tal through inven­to­ry opti­mi­sa­tion. Our cross-functional skills in strate­gic sourc­ing, and ware­house and mate­ri­als man­age­ment through embed­ded ERP solu­tions will reduce work­ing cap­i­tal and asso­ci­at­ed oper­at­ing costs simul­ta­ne­ous­ly and sustainably.
