The problem
Condition data, plans, permits, spares and people sit in separate systems. Nobody can say, with evidence, whether an area is ready to run.
Mining & resources decision operating system
One evidence chain connects production, plant, fleet, critical controls, maintenance, supply, energy and capital, so readiness, release and restart decisions protect output, margin and licence to operate.
01 · The problem
Mines, processing plants, oil and gas facilities and their rail, port, water and power infrastructure generate more data than ever, yet critical decisions still rely on partial views.
Condition, production, integrity and supply data sit in separate systems, so no one sees the full consequence of a defect.
Interventions are approved in meetings and email with no record of the basis, the accountable role or the outcome.
Projected value is rarely verified after the work, so forecasts and strategies never improve.
02 · Who it is for
Each role sees its own priorities, drawn from the same evidence and the same decision record.
One view of what constrains throughput, margin and licence to operate.
Work ranked by consequence, with the failure window and critical spare in view.
TARP triggers, monitoring currency and assurance evidence in one register.
Feed quality and stage constraints traced to recovery and margin.
Deferral cost, capital priority and independently verified savings.
Gate-controlled handover with every test and punch item evidenced.
The story in one page
Condition data, plans, permits, spares and people sit in separate systems. Nobody can say, with evidence, whether an area is ready to run.
One evidence chain links every asset, control, resource and decision from pit to port, so a defect is traced to its production and margin consequence.
Release, restart and intervention decisions are made against explicit criteria, approved by named owners, and checked against what actually happened.
Operating lifecycle
Each lifecycle stage follows the same discipline: detect, diagnose, decide, execute and verify. A recommendation is not complete until its outcome is verified.
01
Is the new system proven ready to receive load?
1 · Detect
Open punch items, incomplete tests and missing vendor documentation per area, subsystem and asset.
2 · Diagnose
Separate release blockers from handover blockers and advisory items against each acceptance criterion.
3 · Decide
Phase gate approvals from mechanical completion through energisation, wet and performance testing.
4 · Execute
Owners close tests and punch items with retained evidence; O&M manuals populate spares and schedules.
5 · Verify
Receiver accepts handover only when every mandatory test and blocker is closed and reviewed.
02
What is constraining throughput and margin today?
1 · Detect
Condition, flowsheet, fleet, energy and feed-quality signals against plan for each site.
2 · Diagnose
Trace the causal chain from condition to constraint, tonnes at risk and margin exposure.
3 · Decide
Ranked findings enter the governed decision queue with an accountable role and response window.
4 · Execute
Shift handover, role action queues and SLA escalation from supervisor to executive.
5 · Verify
Actions close only with pass or fail evidence against the stated acceptance criteria.
03
Which work matters most before its failure window closes?
1 · Detect
Failure forecasts, inspection findings, scan defects and repeat unplanned work.
2 · Diagnose
Match failure modes, screen common causes and check the critical spare against lead time.
3 · Decide
Open work ranked by tonnes and margin at risk, not by asset condition alone.
4 · Execute
Work orders, tasks and procurement raised with parts, crew and isolation requirements.
5 · Verify
Forecasts are scored against verified outcomes and feed calibrated confidence.
04
Is the window scoped, resourced and safe to release?
1 · Detect
Deferred work, components approaching end of life and the next available production window.
2 · Diagnose
Dependencies, crew capacity, isolation and restart hours across the bundled scope.
3 · Decide
Scope frozen against production risk cleared versus the cost of the window.
4 · Execute
Resources reserved without double booking; materials tracked from order to workface.
5 · Verify
Readiness checklist confirms labour, parts, permits, contractors and restart plan.
05
Has the changed or idled system been proven safe to start?
1 · Detect
Configuration, duty or basis changes and the requirements they invalidate.
2 · Diagnose
Re-assess affected requirements, competencies, safety-critical elements and SIFs.
3 · Decide
Release approval tied to the current basis version and authority reference.
4 · Execute
Isolations, hazard actions and pre-start safety review signed off in sequence.
5 · Verify
Outcome measured against the start-up acceptance criteria by the nominated verifier.
06
Are residual obligations controlled and evidenced?
1 · Detect
Tailings, ground and water monitoring currency, TARP levels and licence conditions.
2 · Diagnose
Which triggers rely on stale, manual or uninstrumented measurements.
3 · Decide
TARP escalation and assurance actions assigned to the accountable role.
4 · Execute
Instrumentation actions, inspections and conformance reporting.
5 · Verify
Regulator-style evidence pack with every verification retained and dated.
Operational readiness, full lifecycle
The same readiness discipline applies at every stage of an asset's life, so the last shutdown's lessons become the next one's starting point.
Safety & statutory
Permits, isolations, pre-start safety review, licence conditions
Technical
Commissioning tests, punch items, dependencies, asset condition
Execution
Competent people, reserved resources, parts at the workface
Production
Window fit, delay scenarios, margin at stake
Readiness gate
Every mandatory requirement needs reviewed evidence. Gaps hold the release, and exceptions need a named approver.
Released
Work starts inside an approved window
Outcome verified
Measured against acceptance criteria
Handover accepted
Receiver signs off; the record is retained
One controlled record per system and window, with owner, approver, revision and basis.
Mandatory items cannot be marked ready without reviewed evidence.
Tests by phase, release and handover blockers, gate approvals and receiver acceptance.
Upstream milestones, window alignment and delay scenarios show what slips if one item does.
Competency checks, material stages to workface and reservations that cannot double-book.
Isolations, hazard actions and a signed pre-start safety review before restart.

Executive decision governance
A closed-loop decision ledger preserves accountable approval, traceable evidence, execution timing and measurable production or financial outcomes.
Continuously surface constraints, control breaches, failure windows and value leakage.
Combine evidence, tonnes, margin, confidence, consequence and alternatives into a reviewable proposal.
Named decision owners approve, reject or release action with clear accountability and timing.
Compare actual production, cost and risk outcomes with the approved case and retain the learning.
Why it stands apart
Condition, production, controls, spares, energy and capital share one record, so a number always shows where it came from and what it affects.
Every recommendation carries alternatives, assumptions, confidence and an accountable approver, and stays open until its result is verified.
Work is ranked by production and margin exposure and safety consequence, not by asset condition alone.
Predictions are scored against verified outcomes in the Trust Center, and confidence is calibrated from that record.
