Our Approach
COP: CAPACITY , ORE PROPERTIES & PERFORMANCE
Our strategic COP methodology is built upon three fundamental
dimensions:
- Capacity:
What is your plant’s true AVAILABLE CAPACITY?
- Ore Properties:
What is the REQUIRED CAPACITY of the ore to maximize its value?
- Performance:
How effectively is the installed capacity being UTILIZED?
The COP methodology enables precise diagnostics, the definition of clear strategic objectives, and the development of realistic action plans and feasible solutions.
Our Journey to Excellence
Exploration and Definition
We assess the operational context, current challenges, and level of iinformation maturity to define strategic objectives and priority areas.
Technical Diagnosis
We apply the COP model to evaluate actual capacity, resource utilization, and ore potential. We identify root causes and improvement opportunities.
Solution Co-Creation
We co-design practical solutions with the client, prioritized by impact, feasibility, and operational alignment. Includes routines, models, and operational adjustments.
Implementation and Continuous Improvement
We support the team in implementing solutions, monitoring progress, refining routines, and promoting sustainable internal capabilities.
Strategic Alliances
We collaborate with companies and experts in complementary disciplines such as geology, process characterization, advanced diagnostic techniques (including radioactivetracer methods), non-conventional process analysis, and the development and QA/QC of pilot tests and laboratory-scale experiments. This allows us to deliver integrated,specialized, and effective solutions.
