“In order to achieve this level of integration, Kuntz
says Runge has formed business and technology partnerships with ERP
companies, such as SAP, to help mining companies maximise their value
and profitability through a focused approach to their mining
operations.
This allows mining operations to quickly
disseminate and distribute timely information throughout their
organisation using a standard planning methodology and solution across
the business intelligence layer.”
According to Kuntz, successful mining operations
depend on the availability and reliability of information in order to
make critical every day decisions, and “because of the complexity of
mining data and the spatial characteristics associated with it, rapid
universal access to trusted and accurate information has traditionally
been difficult.
“Basing decisions on data that is misplaced, not universally
accessible, out-dated, or incomplete can at best become a bottleneck in
the decision making process and at worst be operationally and
financially devastating.”
