MINEvolution: Perth’s largest mining event

Mine Machine Productivity 2010 co-located with Drilling and Blasting 2010

Heavy mining machinery and fleet equipment are the main contributors that keep the ore moving every day. Billions of dollars are reported being spent on equipment maintenance each year around the world.

Reliability and productivity of mine machinery are paramount for operational effectiveness. Therefore the mining industry has been continually striving to keep their equipment running and operational, at the highest utilisation and performance possible, in order to meet the immediate increased export needs and remain competitive as well as profitable in the long term.

MMP 2010 aims to discuss the best practices to help optimise machine reliability, maintenance processes, equipment health, and operator performance, and also minimise any negative impact on operations and costs.

The delegates will also gain useful and practical insights on how to capitalise on mine equipment and systems with sustainable cost reduction from effective machine life cycle management.

conference quote

"Turnaround and maintenance costs have increased 30-50% over the past 5 years and operating costs continued to rise at a greater rate than revenue (27%). PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP – Review of global trends of Mining industry (2009)"

Profitability of mining industry sorely depending on the yield of the mine sites. Therefore, having downtime at mine sites is intolerable as it results in costly production loss and unscheduled repairs can cost at least 3 times more and take 8 times as long to fix than planned ones.
