Features and Benefits

The Tempo suite of applications offers a full range of features that make it the solution of choice for integrated and optimized mine planning and scheduling.

Features Benefits

Collaborative, multi-user environment within and across mine sites

» Enables users to collaborate on hierarchical scheduling, achieve high mine plan compliance, and respond effectively and quickly on changes to the schedule or business environment

Integration with enterprise systems » Enables accurate and timely data to be used for scheduling, reducing inefficiencies and errors due to expensive manual or non-integrated import of data

» When integrated with a production monitoring system, enables you to close the loop and perform timely and accurate “planned vs. actual” analysis

Refine a strategic schedule into a medium- or short-term schedule (Hierarchical scheduling)

» Ensures the long-term plan is followed while meeting short-term objectives

Mine plan compliance measurement (Spatial alignment index calculation and optimization)

» Enables mine plan compliance to be measured as a KPI

» Saves time and effort in producing a plan that is coherent with a longer-term plan

Innovative and intuitive workflow and user interface environment

» Makes it much easier to complete your planning tasks more quickly, saving you time and money

Capability for mine planning across the short-, medium-, and long-term horizons

» Develop standardized, more practical and better integrated plans,

» Cut down the time required to develop and modify plans, and

» Reduce your total cost of ownership.

Optimization across a comprehensive scope of targets

» Maximizes economic value while meeting various types of targets and constraints

» Saves time and effort in producing optimized schedules

Custom-defined material processing model » Enables more accurate and higher-value schedules to be developed

Scalable and versatile deployment » Scales from desktop to enterprise deployment, adapting as the organization’s requirements grow

» In the future, can be deployed as Software as a Service, thus lightening the load on your IT department

Robust extensible architecture » Protect your investment in systems and training for many years into the future

Achieve results quickly with an innovative and intuitive workflow and user interface environmentIt is often said that one measure of a plan’s quality is its timeliness. Tempo introduces a new workflow and user interface environment that makes it much easier and quicker to complete your planning tasks, saving you time and money.

Use a single comprehensive solution platform for all levels of your mine planning processTempo is the first mine planning application with the capability to handle mine planning across the short-, medium-, and long-term horizons. Your organization can now use a single easy-to-learn application for mine planning across the all levels of your mine planning process from strategic to operational and gain these benefits:

» Develop standardized, more practical and better integrated plans

» Cut down the time required to develop and modify plans, and

» Reduce your total cost of ownership

Integrate with other applications for fast and accurate data updatesTempo offers enterprise integration capabilities, enabling it to integrate easily with other applications such as inventory management, maintenance scheduling, dispatch, production monitoring, financial management, and existing planning software. This means you can:

» Quickly access accurate data for creating and updating your plans

» Consider real equipment availability for production scheduling

» Close the loop and perform timely and accurate “planned vs. actual” analysis so you can respond effectively and quickly to schedule deviations

» Measure and communicate near real-time mine plan compliance

The Tempo platform has a robust architecture that makes it extensible for many years to come. Each Tempo Edition can currently be extended with the Optimization Module. Tempo Enterprise can be extended with the Integration Services Module. In the future, numerous other modules, including Web-based reporting, will be made available.

For your organization to handle complex planning more easily and effectively, Tempo offers the enterprise scheduling capability of collaboration. Collaboration enables planners, managers, and executives to easily interact, share schedules, and make coordinated responses to schedule changes. By enabling collaboration between multiple users, your organization can achieve the following within and across your mine sites:

» Use a long-term plan to derive an operational plan that maximizes mine plan compliance while meeting short-term targets

» Easily measure compliance with a long-term plan and instantly know the impact your operational planning and tactical responses will have on the long-term value of your mine

Minemax Tempo is a scalable and integrated mine planning solution with collaboration and optimization capabilities for mid-to-large-size mining operations.

Tempo is a new generation mine planning and scheduling solution, designed from the ground up to enable your organization to create practical and optimal mine plans in a collaborative environment more easily and quickly than ever before.

Tempo offers your organization this unique set of benefits:

» Develop economically optimal long-term plans and easily translate them into optimal short-term plans in a collaborative environment

» Collaboratively manage operational change while achieving mine plan compliance and preserving strategic value

» Complete planning tasks easily and quickly with an innovative and intuitive workflow and user interface environment

» Reduce costs and improve the quality of your planning by using a single comprehensive solution platform for all levels of your mine planning process

» Perform timely and accurate “planned vs. actual” analysis so you can respond effectively and quickly to schedule deviations
