About Power BI
Power BI is a powerful business intelligence tool that allows organizations to transform raw data into interactive dashboards and insightful visual reports. It enables users to analyze, visualize, and share data in real-time, fostering data-driven decision-making, improving operational efficiency, and providing a clear understanding of key business metrics.
The problem
Our client is a mid-tier gold producer. The company was reporting with Excel, with each department responsible for completing their sheet in a single Excel file that was eventually distributed to the General Manager and department managers. Each department also had their own internal reporting requirements. Significant number of man-hours were spent manipulating data, copying and pasting between different sheets and files and validating manual entry errors.
The client wanted an automated system where data is entered once and flows to the required reports. The ultimate goals of the project were to provide managers with dynamic, actionable reports that required fewer man-hours to generate.
Why Minebright
The client wanted data entered once and carried into every department’s report: the processing plant, the open pit, the underground mine and geology. Minebright delivered the four dashboards in four weeks.
The solution
Minebright developed Power BI dashboards for the processing plant, open pit mine, underground mine, and geologists for the end-of-month reconciliation.
Key performance indicators such as utilization, downtime, throughput, gold produced, and recovery were all tracked against the forecast and budget.
The dashboards allowed our client to have near-real time data on all aspects of their operation, enabling quicker decision making.
The results
The Power BI dashboards provided near-real-time insights, improving operational efficiency across the processing plant, open pit, and underground mine. By tracking KPIs against forecasts and budgets, the client achieved faster decision-making, reduced downtime, and improved throughput and recovery, leading to more accurate end-of-month reconciliations and enhanced overall performance.
