CASE STUDIES
SOME OF OUR SUCCESSFUL PROJECTS
STORYCHART
BSC is a digital partner to DPM. We’ve generated a number of insightful diagnostics and reports for their sites. Through automation, the process has been expedited. Reduced the turnaround time for corporate reporting.
DIAGNOSTICS AND REPORTING
BSC developed a reporting and diagnostic tool, which integrated user inputs, allowing for improved visibility on deviations to the plan; thus allowing improved planning and execution. Improved compliance to mine plan.
RAIL NETWORK QUEUE MODEL
Simulating for the impact of queuing on the cycle times of their trains across the rail network. Determined cycle times for USD 100M improvements.
NEW MINING TECHNOLOGY VISUALISATION
Demystifying the complexities and vision for the new layout, technologies, processes and activities in the mechanised mine of the future. Created excitement and buy-in for the mine of the future.
ATTRIBUTION ANALYSES
BSC’s unique Attribution Analysis was applied across the whole corporation, providing the CEO with a full view of how changes in the physical drivers impacted on the profit for the company. Critical decisions made easy.
DIAGNOSTICS THROUGH IOT
Optimising the fleet at one of our clients mine, allowed for a reduction in fleet size while also increasing production. This resulted in reduced costs and increased margins. Reduction of fleet size on site.
STRATEGIC SCENARIO PLANNING
Modelling solution to run different strategic scenarios quickly and easily, to improve the quality of decision making for a major expansion drive. Supported investment decisions for global expansion.
HAUL FLEET OPTIMISATION
Simulating, and improving, truck cycle times for an open pit coal mine resulting in 20% reduced hauling costs. 20% cost reduction.
BULK SALES PRICE STRUCTURES
Statistically modelling transactional sales coupled with vendor information to determine the optimal discount points to maximise sales. 90% growth in sales within 3 months of change.
COST MODELLING PLATFORM
Detailed cost benchmarking solution for different commodities and mining operations. The solution is used by CRU’s banking and mining clients globally. Created significant licensing revenue from global clients.
TARIFF RECOMMENDATION ENGINE
Simulating, forecasting & re-rating subscriber spend and usage behaviour over 24 months to proactively recommend appropriate tariffs at contract renewal stage. Live system used in every MTN store nationwide.
VR SAFETY TRAINING
Fully immersive solution for underground practical barring training in which participants learn the correct techniques for “Competent B” certification. R4.7m annual labour cost saving.
PLAN VALIDATION
Simulation of the loading operation of a Greenfields diamond mine. Exact fleet size for optimal operations determined 18 months in advance. Determined exact fleet size, 18 months before start-up.
#HEALTHYDATA VR TRAINING
Changing the nature of dialogues about data by highlighting the emotive aspects of the internal campaign. Helped create a data driven culture at the bank.
LEAD ALLOCATION OPTIMISATION
Score incoming calls to determine the optimal agent profile to service the call with the aim to improve closing rates and overall effectiveness. 12% improvement in agent effectiveness rates.
PRODUCT CROSS-SELL
Modelling Forex transactional behaviour of corporate clients to identify triggers for product cross-sell opportunities. Created automated lead flow for relationship managers.
IMMERSIVE BREATH BRAKE® TOOL
Assisting opioid abusers overcome pain, anxiety and addiction through the martial arts breathing techniques of Kids Kicking Cancer. Helped kids with cancer teach opioid users in the USA to tame their addiction.
MINING CAPABILITY SIMULATION
Simulating 12 years of production to re-base one of the world’s largest underground gold mines. 80% planning confidence.
ROLLING FORECAST
Driver based scenario planning, advanced analytics and financial forecasting with a full set of output financial statements per scenario. Enabled an agile business planning function.
CORPORATE FINANCE PLANNING
Corporate Finance Modelling solution for the Anglo SA Group that supports key funding decisions and set policy direction for the entire group. Set policy direction for the next 5 years.
