Southern Peru
Southern Peru Copper Corporation (SPCC) is the fifth largest copper mining company in the world, with significant copper reserves. SPCC needed an integrated system that was capable of covering the five main management areas of the company (operations, maintenance, logistics, finances, and HR), with the object of optimizing the efficiency of its resource management. After a thorough assessment, SPCC selected Ventyx Ellipse because it was the tool that best covered its management and integration requirements, and because its system naturally included the processes and practices of the mining business. As a result of the implementation of Ventyx Ellipse, SPCC achieved a reduction of 12% in maintenance costs and an increase of 7% in service levels without having to increase the spares and parts inventory.
