Smelters have to contend with many issues, including feed control and feed quality, procurement opportunities, shipment scheduling, contractual complexity, hedging of metals production, and wide ranging technical, commercial and legal issues.
The "concentrate desk" needs to continually deal with a tremendous volume of complex data that is constantly changing. Likewise the sales of finished product such as copper cathode requires close attention to scheduling and quality. There is little room for error.
Features of MINEMAN for Smelters include:
- Workflow management for concentrate and scrap procurements
- Automatic alerts for key contractual obligations with counterparties and contractors
- Planning for arrivals and sourcing of concentrates
- Planning for sales of finished product such as copper cathodes and by-products
