Leveraging cost and project re-engineering for superior contract mining control
Cost and project re-engineering are transformative approaches that allow clients to gain better insights into contract mining activities, enabling improved decision-making and efficiency. Milestone focuses on rethinking contract mining workflows, identifying inefficiencies, and implementing best practices that maximize value and minimize costs.
Milestone provides clients with detailed insights into contractor costs and performance, allowing them to identify opportunities for optimization. This strategic focus ensures that contract mining operations are aligned with client objectives, enhancing cost-effectiveness and operational efficiency.
MileSTONE: aligning planning with best-in-class contract management
MileSTONE strengthens client planning by integrating advanced project management practices, providing a structured, data-driven approach that supports on-time and within-budget delivery of contract mining operations. Seamlessly working alongside the client’s planning and design teams, MileSTONE acts as an extension of the client’s function, ensuring that contract mining plans are executed with precision and aligned with the overall project strategy.
Through continuous monitoring and real-time data analysis, MileSTONE identifies potential deviations early, enabling proactive adjustments that keep contract mining projects on track. This collaborative approach ensures that contract mining operations are executed with flexibility and responsiveness to on-site conditions, enhancing the overall performance of the contract mining team.
First-principles costing for transparent contract mining management
Central to Milestone’s platform is the use of first-principles costing, a method that breaks down contractor costs into fundamental components, such as equipment life cycle operating costs, manpower, labor, material costs, overheads, escalation, and others. This granular approach, enhanced by resource analysis, provides a transparent view of true cost drivers and the utilization of components, allowing clients to make informed decisions and implement targeted improvements. By understanding these foundational costs, clients can better manage their budgets, optimize contract resources, and maintain precise control over their outsourced operations.
Benchmarking through digital twinning and simulations
Milestone enhances the management of contract mining operations by benchmarking against best practices through digital twinning and simulations, using equipment design capabilities adjusted to practical on-site conditions. This approach allows clients to model scenarios that reflect real-world challenges and evaluate potential improvements in a controlled environment. By leveraging these advanced simulations, Milestone provides insights into how best practices can be applied to contract mining operations, ensuring that contracted services are continuously optimized against the most effective strategies.
Predictive modeling and scenario analysis for proactive contract management
Milestone’s predictive modeling and sensitivity analysis tools empower clients to anticipate challenges in their contract mining operations before they arise. By evaluating different scenarios and their potential impacts, Milestone provides valuable foresight that supports proactive contract management, ensuring that operations remain resilient, adaptable, and efficient.
With the aid of a Digital Construction Management System (DCMS), MileSTONE can make unlimited predictions, such as isolating specific equipment operating cost components. Whether assessing the impact of a diesel price increase on operating costs or evaluating the effect of foreign taxes on imported spares, MileSTONE’s predictions keep clients one step ahead. This capability has enabled TacminMadini to resolve numerous disputes between parties. Through effective risk mitigation strategies, they have curbed onerous claims, reinforcing the effectiveness of a proactive and predictive approach in managing contract mining operations.
Streamlining contract execution with lean mining principles
Lean mining principles are a cornerstone of Milestone’s strategy, focusing on waste reduction, process simplification, and continuous value creation in contract mining operations. By applying lean techniques, Milestone helps clients streamline contractor activities, eliminate redundancies, and improve overall efficiency. This approach not only reduces costs but also fosters a culture of continuous improvement, essential for maintaining control over outsourced mining activities in a dynamic environment.
