Oracle Mining in the Asia Pacific Century

Operating out of some of the most remote places on earth, every mining organisation understands the challenges of moving commodities across hundreds, and often thousands, of kilometres.

• It's hard managing host of varying transportation modes and constraints in logistic operations, most requiring specialised equipment and expertise - both of which can sometimes be in short supply.
• Leading-edge technologies and software in supply planning and integrated logistics can mean the difference between profitable and unprofitable projects.

Oracle's Mine-to-Market (MTM) solution provides the capabilities, real-time information and insights managers need to overcome the logistics and commercial challenges associated with the movement of commodities from stockpiles at mines to final destinations across the world.

• Logistics dashboards provide a complete and accurate view across customer orders, cancellations, commodity stockpiles, shipping cost, on-time delivery performance, ship and truck utilisation and more.
• Ensure contract information is accurate and current with standard terms and conditions templates and electronic approval workflow.
• Ensure compliance with contractual obligations and regulatory requirements that are automatically enforced.
• Implement a robust contract-to-cash process that supports quality-based pricing, premium and penalty calculations and automatic generation of accurate invoices.
• Optimise medium- to long-term supply planning with an advance modelling tool with capabilities for "demand pull" and "supply push" planning.
• Plan and execute blending of ore/commodities in the outbound logistics chain to meet customer specifications.
• Accurately forecast, plan demand and schedule the required quantity, grade and timing of commodities to deliver on sales contracts and projected ad hoc sales.
• Perform comprehensive logistics planning that takes into account sailing schedules, port capacity, rail constraints, commodity grade and cost considerations.
• Manage orders efficiently with a complete view of commodity type, quantity, grade, associated customer order, storage location and transport vessel.
• Manage costs by validating transportation invoices from transport providers against pre-calculated invoices.
• Save time by automatically generating supplier invoices thus eliminating the need to capture and validate them.
• Collect, distribute and analyse critical quality data.
• Share quality data across outbound logistics operations to track grade, conformance to specifications and monitor performance against contract.
