SAP Industry Value Network (IVN) for mining was started by SAP to address priority mining industry needs and business challenges, and includes leading industry customers such as BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto, Anglo American, Exxaro and Goldcorp.
By combining the mining engineer and equipment scheduling process of the maintenance manager, mining IVN partners are working on an end-to-end mining scheduling process.
The partners will work on new composite solutions and integration scenarios in the areas of mining operations management (for mine planning and scheduling, metallurgical reconciliation and metal accounting), enterprise asset management (for reliable maintenance optimisation, delay accounting and performance optimisation), as well as operational compliance (for emissions management, and health and safety management).
