Mobile Equipment Life Cycle Management

At popular request we are bringing this course to you as a live webcast!

Summary

The aim of the webcast is to create an analytic framework to impartially assess haul truck investments using reliable financial modeling and sensitivity analysis. Particular attention will be given to the treatment of the key operating variables such as road condition, loading, vendor risk and maintenance, and the way these influence the associated costs and optimization of the net present value of haul truck investment. For details of topics covered see course schedule.

The course is organized by M.G. Currie & Company, a management consultant, Conscious Asset Management, experts in Maintenance and Physical Asset Management, and EduMine, the Professional Development Division of InfoMine Inc. (Vancouver, BC, Canada).

Background

Optimizing the life cycle of mining fleet assets pays huge dividends - haulage represents a significant portion of a mine's operating budget and, in an era of record commodity prices tempered by unprecedented scarcity of product support, getting it wrong today carries much greater consequence than it did ten years ago, both in terms of missed opportunity and increased cost.

Pre-Course e-Learning
