TOP 10 Digital Effectiveness
82
Miners are making headway harnessing digital to improve productivity . EY note successes in the automation of haulage , rail , trucks and drilling as well as the use of predictive analytics to reduce maintenance costs and improve equipment availability . Such initiatives have been focused on solving bottlenecks and , while delivering value , have not been transformative . EY believes sustainable productivity gains will only be realised when digital initiatives span the value chain . For this to happen , CEOs need to drive change with a shared vision across their organisations , offering a comprehensive business case and proper resourcing . Digital is the key to achieving sustainable productivity , margin improvement and staying ahead of your competition . EY recommend an end-to-end program of overlapping waves of increasing complexity and value . A structured ‘ wave ’ approach can help to integrate digital initiatives into a cohesive whole .
