Case Study: Yanacocha Mine

Newmont Yanacocha Mine

Customer Profile

Newmont’s Minera Yanacocha (Yanacocha Mine), is

one of the largest gold mines in South America

delivering 49% of Peru’s annual gold production. It is

also one of the highest at 4,100 meters above sea

level. The mine is located in Peruvian Andes, some 48

kilometers north of the city of Cajamarca. It consists

of five open pit mines, four leach pads and three gold

recovery plants with a forth plant coming on line in

2008. The mine produces around 1.6 million ounces

annually.

To continually improve equipment productivity and

drive down the cost of maintenance, Newmont

needed a smarter approach to equipment

management.

Why AMT?

While Yanacocha utilised an ERP (Enterprise Resource

Planning) system to handle work order transactions,

inventory management and basic maintenance

planning, there was no easy way to produce and

analyse a first principles maintenance budget. The

previous method of trawling through reams of

transactional data in spreadsheets was cumbersome

and prone to error. To combat rising costs and

quickly understand changes to budget conditions, a

new approach was required.

To plug the systems gap, Yanacocha management

chose to implement iSolutions AMT Equipment

Management Tool. AMT is integrated with

Yanacocha’s ERP work order and daily planning

system to create a seamless equipment management

solution. Leveraging the information already held in

the ERP, AMT is used to create life cycle maintenance

projections for each asset. These projections are

continually updated with the latest infor mation from

work orders to produce a forecast of the asset’s life

cycle cost. In addition, the availability and required

labour, components and other resources required are

included in the forecast.

Graeme Elgie, Managing Director of iSolutions talks

about AMT’s life cycle methodology.

“This methodology forms the basis of the

maintenance budget. By collecting maintenance

information against each maintenance task instead of

buried in work orders, you gain a much greater

understanding of the performance of individual

systems and components. This understanding helps

maintenance managers optimise the budget,

understand cost drivers and reduce the life cycle cost

of the asset.”

Case Study: Yanacocha Mine

Once the base projections are built, a maintenance

budget can be quickly and easily produced with

greater accuracy than before. A process that may

have taken up to a week to complete can be done in

an hour with the ability to audit and validate of the

results.

“By performing their jobs, completing work orders

and updating the maintenance plan, the mechanics

and planners are helping complete the budget

process and improve maintenance performance.

Without a tool like AMT it would be very difficult to

produce a maintenance budget as quickly or as

accurately.” - Graeme Robinson, Mobile

Maintenance Superintendent

Once the budget is complete, there are a suite of

tools to analyse and improve maintenance

performance. One such tool is the compliance to plan

method. The compliance to plan method not only

looks at the maintenance expenditure, but also looks

at where the money was spent on a component by

component basis.

Of course the budgeting module of AMT is only one

part of a well-rounded suite of maintenance

management tools. The very task of setting up

detailed life cycle projections for assets allows users

to dynamically review the equipment strategy, review

the long term resource plans, assess the impact of

changes to the maintenance strategy as well as

determine the optimal life for assets.

These tools are built in to AMT and provide a

structured way to optimise maintenance expenditure

and improve productivity.

On the back of the success of AMT at Yanacocha,

Newmont have since deployed AMT in both the USA,

Australia and Indonesia.
