Case Study – Asset Strategy Review – Mobile Fleet and Processing PlantHard Rock Underground Mine - NSW, Australia

The client had many areas within the Asset Management boundaries needing improvement but was uncertain of the level of improvement required and the roadmap to achieve a successful outcome. They recognised that Mobile Maintenance and the Process Plant would benefit from improved asset strategies based on feedback from a recent  asset maturity evaluation.

To provide improved services at optimised costs to their customers and shareholders, it was identified that there was an opportunity to review the strategies that were employed to manage Underground Mobile Fleet and Processing Plant across the business in a focused improvement project.

EnterpriseIS developed and documented the overall processes for improving the asset register, maintenance plans and tactics and equipment spares strategy for Mobile Fleet and Processing.

A series of Asset Criticality and Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) workshops were facilitated with site personnel to develop the Maintenance strategy and tactics, with the focus being the level of criticality of the equipment in the process.

The Asset Register was reviewed and updated for relevance of assets. The asset hierarchy was standardised with agreed systems and sub-systems in place.

The maintenance tactics were written and entered into a standardised template for collation into work packages and then loaded onto the Computerised Maintenance Management System (CMMS) for use by the site’s personnel.
