SMS was engaged to review supply chain logistics for a new mining project. After developing the modelling system and simulating a wide range of scenarios, SMS was able to provide feedback on a number of issues within the proposed supply chain. This equipped their client with the decision making knowledge they needed to ensure their proposed infrastructure was appropriately sized so target throughput levels could be achieved. Read more…

SMS worked collaboratively with CSR Hebel to simulate the proposed design of their new manufacturing facility. Using Arena simulation software, SMS produced a simulation model which clearly demonstrated that the proposed design could not meet the production requirements. Read more…

SMS developed a simulation model of BHP Illawarra Coal’s complex raw coal transportation system, to help address challenges related to bottlenecks and inadequate storage. Through its model, SMS was able to recommend relatively minor infrastructure upgrades, allowing BHP to avoid the need for anticipated new stockpiles or other major investment. The model was then available for ongoing use, to support decision making for other proposed projects and upgrades. Read more…
