Our Australian Longwall client increased production operating time by 33% in 2023, which translated into a significant increase in sales and profit.
Implementing a Flow Room not only impacts operational efficiency but also fosters a culture of increased engagement, better decision-making, and employee maturity. The client quickly achieved what we like to refer to as "Superflow in a spirit of calmness."
The Production rate achieved at the CHPP is now higher and dramatically more stable. This means that monthly production numbers are stable and predictable. When problems develop, employees have the knowledge and tools to observe this in advance and take preventative action.
Under these circumstances, it becomes easy to justify critical capex. Our client had no problems justifying a capex investment at the bottleneck with a two-month payback and a further 21% p/a increase in throughput projected for future years.
Consider this: if price and yield remain constant, and the budgeted sales revenue for next year is projected at $100M, the implementation of the Flow Room system could potentially offer a combined 61% increase in revenue, amounting to $61M. This substantial increase in revenue will largely flow to the bottom line, demonstrating the significant financial benefits of the Flow Room system.
This case study relates to longwall mining, but the principles have been successfully applied across all types of mining since 1990 in more than 85 implementations.
