• Maintenance By comparing the outcome between a model and reality, anomalies can be detected and identified and measures initiated. Models are an excellent method for error detection. Predictive maintenance is made possible by models that describe wear mechanisms which are then used to predict the time of an accident.
• Management Models within management are used for the following: - Dissemination of information - Basis for policy-making - Education - Production planning - Overall business management
Superior models create insights into key metrics that are used to manage resources and efforts in the most effective way from plant- and site-wide perspectives. With effective production planning tools, for example, the consequences of rock outbursts that lead to replanning in the mine can be tested virtually to see the complete short- and long-term system and customer impacts. Optimal alternative plans can be simulated and identified, for example, cross-driving of goods between plants and shafts.
