With falling commodity prices, many mining and production facilities face increasing pressure to maintain profitability. While workforce reductions are often seen as the quickest solution, significant hidden costs frequently exist within plant operations, costs that can go unnoticed without a structured assessment.
Operational process inefficiencies impact far more than production throughput. They directly influence cost of sale, asset reliability and longevity, maintenance expenditure, and end-product quality, ultimately affecting margins and market competitiveness.
During periods of strong market conditions, plants are commonly modified to maximise throughput, often through incremental improvements and add-ons. Over time, these changes are maintained without a holistic assessment of their cumulative impact. When market conditions tighten, these inefficiencies can significantly constrain performance and profitability.
Through Process Optimisation and Alarm Rationalisation, Slade Industries provides asset owners with a clear, data-driven understanding of how their plant is truly operating.
Our process delivers a detailed assessment of:
The resulting report enables asset owners to identify and address immediate “low-hanging fruit” while developing a structured plan to resolve larger, high-value improvement opportunities.
Because many operational faults have a compounding effect on process efficiency, even minor corrections can deliver significant reductions in production and operating costs.
Proven Results
Slade Industries deploys highly skilled specialists to both identify and rectify these issues. During one optimisation assessment, analysis of nuisance alarms revealed the root cause of intermittent trips affecting an offshore platform’s two main compressors. Resolving this issue eliminated approximately 7% of production costs, equating to $350,000 per plant trip.
A simple fix delivered a substantial commercial outcome.
