Smart Mining Supply Chain

Event Date: 21-22 Feb 2011
Location: Prince Hotel & Residence, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
 
 
Supply chain for mining essentially covers the movement of raw materials from the time it is retrieved from the mine itself, till the time it reaches the end user (customer). The rising demand for coal, iron ore, bauxite, copper and tin metal from organisations simply means that it is critical for mining companies to deliver the right quality component ingredients, to the right place and at the right time in order to achieve high operational performance in their supply chain processes.

Currently, majority of mining companies in Asia are experiencing bottlenecks in their supply chain processes and this causes a delay of delivery which leads to higher operating costs and significantly impacts the bottom line. This is mainly due to the poor operational infrastructure constraints experts are currently working in. Other challenges in supply chain are effectively collaborating the supply chain planning process, accurately forecasting materials to meet customer demands, avoiding machinery failures at processing plants, stockpile handling, overland transportation and in loading and out loading infrastructure constraints at the port.

marcus evans ‘Smart Mining Supply Chain’ conference is tailor made for strong competencies in operations and logistics management applied at the mine site and across the supply chain infrastructure to curb bottlenecks. Supply chain is one of the most crucial aspects of the mining industry and movement of raw materials from one location to another is a problem and this affects other areas of the mining supply chain.
