π¨ **MINE OWNERS: HOW MUCH PROFIT OPPORTUNITY IS YOUR MINE LOSING WHILE THE MACHINES ARE STILL RUNNING?**
Let's do the maths.
20 tonnes/hour Γ 5 lost productive hours/day Γ 300 days = **30,000 tonnes/year.**
At an assumed contribution margin of R600 per additional saleable tonne:
30,000 Γ R600 = **R18 MILLION in theoretical annual contribution opportunity.**
Illustrative example only. Actual recoverability depends on production constraints, processing capacity, product quality, market demand and verified margins.
Here is the uncomfortable question:
**Does your management team know what every lost productive hour costs your business?**
Or are you reporting downtime without translating it into financial impact?
UGS focuses on bottleneck analysis, downtime costing, operational efficiency and the verification of recoverable financial opportunities.
We help management investigate the numbers behind operational performance.
