Scaling Advanced Maintenance Planning Across Mining Operations

This document is a case study detailing the implementation of SAP S/4HANA Asset Management for Resource Scheduling (RSH) at Torex Gold Resources Inc., a Canadian mid-tier gold producer. The case study outlines the challenges faced by Torex in sustaining an advanced forward scheduling process across its mining operations, particularly due to limitations of legacy scheduling tools. The implementation of RSH aimed to enhance maintenance planning productivity and streamline operations. The document describes how the intuitive, visual platform of SAP RSH facilitated seamless scheduling by integrating labor, materials, and work order dependencies. It reports significant improvements, including a 30% increase in maintenance planning and scheduling productivity and a smooth transition for 1,000 plant maintenance users with zero operational disruption. The case study emphasizes the enhanced visibility into workforce and material readiness achieved through the new system, which minimized manual coordination and required minimal change management.
