The Problem
The mining industry is struggling with on-site parts inventory management.
This is a multi-Billion dollar problem of inefficiency and inaccurate data
- resulting in downtime and significant losses
Demand Planning
- Inaccurate SOH and location data
- Suboptimal inventory levels
- Production downtime prevention
Data & Analytics
- Min-Max SKU level set
- Locating inventory
- Reliable parts data
Policy, Governance & Monitoring
- Squirrel store optimization
- SOP adherence
- Inventory visibility
Production machinery downtime
"Mining, metals and other heavy-industrial companies lose ~23 hours/month, equating to 1.2 million hours a year across the sector. At$187,500/hour, this adds up to $225 billion annually."

How the problem manifests
In a cycle of inefficiency, inconvenient SOPs feed problems down the process.
Challenging environments promote a path of least resistance.
This must be accepted and managed.
