Mining Subcontractor Management

The mining industry relies heavy on sub contractors for different areas of their operations. Having a flexible tool to allow for management, control and visibility of tasks are essential. Aligning to defined processes, while ensuring the contractual agreement details are enforced results in better cost control.

OrbFusion allows for better collaboration and compliance between owner and sub-contractor, whilst aligning to the terms and rates as defined in the contractual agreement. Task orders allow for clear instructions per area and supporting details, whilst accommodating for changes that might occur in a dynamic environment.

Contractor reports allow for the evaluation against these tasks per your defined mining period. Actuals, as a basis for contractor invoicing, forms part of the KPI’s and any out of scope work that was performed.

Integrated to your ERP and controlled by your approval structures as defined in OrbFusion.

Life Cycle Costing

The business requirements of certain organisations are often so unique that a best of breed Plant Maintenance solution offers a better fit than the standard ERP solution. Instead of trying to implement complex and costly systems which do not always address all the business requirements, a combination of the most suitable solutions is essential to get positive results.

With the aid of OrbFusion, interfacing these systems can be achieved. Not only facilitating data exchange between Plant Maintenance and the ERP, but also allows for accurately measuring equipment performance to reduce downtime, accurate spare part management and better Life Cycle Costing. This is possible because the interface allows for all maintenance management activities to be managed by the Plant Maintenance System, while the Materials Management and other cost elements take place within ERP and managed by OrbFusion.
