Dec’23 IND: Realization Technologies India Pvt. Ltd. played a pivotal role in addressing the formidable challenge undertaken by Vulcan Mozambique, a leading global mining company operating Africa's largest coal mine in Moatize. Faced with the ambitious goal of tripling met coal production within a tight timeframe of 14 months, Vulcan recognized the necessity to not only increase mine production but also augment the entire process flow, encompassing washplant and logistics.
Challenges Faced by Vulcan:
1. Obvious Strategies Ineffective:
• Frequent breakdowns hindered preventive maintenance efforts.
• The formalized strategy to increase maintenance hours during unplanned shutdowns faced a critical dependency on the availability of specific parts for the intended package.

2. Lack of Control Over Strategy Execution:
• Numerous packages remained unexecuted due to a lack of material readiness.
• Resulted in inefficient utilization of shutdown hours, undermining the effectiveness of the planned strategy.

3. De-synchronization Issues:
• Absence of a clear plan to address the maintenance backlog concerning available resources.
• Simultaneous planning for multiple packages, with actual execution limited to 60-70%, as some packages lacked the necessary materials.

4. Resource Unpredictability:
• Uncertainty in package readiness led to challenges in accurately predicting resource requirements during actual shutdowns.

To address these challenges, Vulcan partnered with Realization Technologies, a trusted provider of project delivery solutions.
1. Strategic Partnership:
• Vulcan strategically collaborated with Realization Technologies, a recognized provider of project delivery solutions, to address identified challenges effectively.

2. Focus & Finish Packages:
• A prioritized list of packages was established based on equipment criticality, current condition, and statutory requirements.
• Maintained a maximum of 40 active packages out of a total of 82, ensuring efficient work-in-progress management.

3. Streamlined Execution through Contractor Onboarding:

• Contractors were onboarded with a focused execution strategy, prioritizing the completion of 40 packages initially.
• Material delivery from the store was limited to the requirements of the first 42 packages, optimizing resource utilization.

4. Streamliner - The Enabler:
• The entire execution process was automated through Streamliner, which is a reliable and transparent platform.
• Streamliner facilitated visibility at all levels, ensuring synchronization and identifying bottlenecks for effective control and management.

• After 120 hours of shutdown, 80 out of 81 packages were completed.
• The actual maintenance hours achieved were 40% more than planned.
