Glencore Mount Isa Mines (MIM) Copper Operations, located in North-West Queensland, include a Copper Concentrator plant and a Copper Smelter plant. 

Operational staff at both plants including plant operators, metallurgists, reliability engineers, maintenance personnel and plant management had relied upon various MS Excel based spreadsheets, generated manually, in order to fulfil their delay accounting tasks and wanted a more reliable and less time-consuming method of capturing, tracking and evaluating delays.

Project scope

  • Evaluate existing MS Excel based delay accounting system for strengths, errors and opportunities for improvement.
  • Replace existing MS Excel based delay accounting system with RtDUET for both the Copper Concentrator and the Copper Smelter.
  • Configure RtDUET with Glencore’s global standard time usage model (TUM). Apply automated and advance triggers and customised reporting to compliment RtDUET’s out-of-the-box reporting capability.
  • Train operators, reliability engineers and metallurgists the operation and administration of RtDUET.
  • Provide MIM ongoing OSIsoft PI, RtTech RtDUET and Mipac MPA support and deliver small projects to optimise and further automate the reporting as user sophistication increases.

Project results

  • Reliable and automated delay accounting system meaning Reliability Engineers and Metallurgists could spend less time compiling data and more time optimising the operation
  • Greater data capture, accuracy and visibility of delay events providing greater confidence that the correct priorities were being addressed
  • Advanced automated delay triggers applied to minimise manual
