Mining & Metals
"Cost per ounce is a design problem. Most operators are treating it like a procurement problem."
Emergency buys, stock-outs, and unplanned downtime don't just hurt the maintenance budget. They hit AISC above its controllable floor. The failure patterns, lead times, and reorder logic already exist in your systems. Nobody has connected them.
The Upside
18–25%
of MRO budget, recoverable
Lost to emergency buys that hit AISC above its controllable floor. The failure patterns, lead times, and reorder logic already exist in your systems — nobody has connected them.

Return on engagement fee, year one
Not from procurement savings. From controllable AISC improvement.
The Engagement
What a Mining Diagnostic
delivers.
Six to eight weeks. A prioritized opportunity map with a dollar value on every initiative. Your team can execute it without us. Or we can stay in.
Mining & Mineral Resources
You're paying a premium every time a part isn't where it needs to be.
Most mid-size mining and contract mining operators spend 18–25% of their MRO budget on emergency or unplanned purchases. That's not a procurement failure. It's a data problem. The failure patterns, lead times, and reorder logic exist in your systems. Nobody has connected them.

What You Walk Away With
- Top 15 parts categories driving 80% of emergency spend
- Reorder logic aligned to your actual maintenance schedule
- Quantified dollar recovery ranked by ease of capture
- Execution plan your team can run without outside support
- Supplier consolidation and renegotiation targets
Best Fit
Operations spending $2M+/yr on MRO that have never had a structured parts analysis.
Where We Work
Six leverage points.
All quantifiable.
Every engagement starts with a diagnostic to find the highest-value entry point for your specific operation. We don't sell modules. We find where the margin is and build from there.
Predictive
Know which haul truck breaks before it does
ML models on haul truck, excavator, and drill rig telemetry predict failures before costly breakdowns, extending component life and eliminating emergency rebuilds.
Inventory
Free the capital buried in your parts room
Right-size stocking levels across thousands of line items by aligning safety stock to failure probability, lead time, and asset criticality.
Data Foundation
Stop paying twice for the same part
Identify and consolidate duplicate material records across sites, improving MRP accuracy and eliminating procurement waste at the source.
Maintenance
Maintain what needs it. Skip what doesn't.
Move from fixed-interval PMs to condition-based strategies with task lists built on actual failure modes, not generic OEM defaults.
Workflows
Give planners their time back
Automate work order generation, parts reservation, and job card creation so planners focus on protecting assets, not managing data entry.
Financial
See exactly where your AISC has room to move
Connect operational data to your cost-per-ounce model. We identify which failure modes and procurement patterns are sitting above your controllable AISC floor, and by how much.
Next step
Find out where your
AISC floor actually is.
A diagnostic engagement runs 6–8 weeks and returns a prioritized roadmap with a dollar value on every initiative. If we can't see a clear path to 10× return on our fee, we won't take the work.
