Work completed with real site teams.
These examples reflect work delivered for mining and asset-intensive operations. Client details remain confidential, but the problems, approach and outcomes are drawn from actual engagements.
Zero-Based Maintenance Budget and Site Team Uplift
Supported a site through a major maintenance budget cycle, bringing maintenance, operations, finance and leadership together to build a budget based on asset requirements rather than simply repeating historical spend.
What we walked into
Budget information was spread across different teams, systems and spreadsheets. Assumptions were not always aligned, and site leaders needed greater confidence in the maintenance forecast, supporting data and approval process.
What 3DRP delivered
- Facilitated budget development with site stakeholders
- Reviewed maintenance strategies and component forecasts
- Aligned operating assumptions and asset requirements
- Worked directly with superintendents and technical teams
- Delivered process, system and budget methodology training
- Improved data ownership and review discipline
What changed
The site produced a clearer and more defensible zero-based maintenance budget. Supporting assumptions were better understood, the relevant teams were aligned, and superintendents had stronger ownership of the numbers presented for approval.
Fixed Plant Hierarchy, CMMS and Strategy Alignment
Worked with a fixed plant operation to improve how its physical assets, maintenance strategies and CMMS records were structured and connected.
What we walked into
The asset structure within the CMMS did not consistently represent the equipment in the field. Hierarchy levels, naming conventions and component relationships varied, limiting the value of maintenance history, planning and reporting.
What 3DRP delivered
- Reviewed the existing fixed plant structure
- Mapped physical equipment against CMMS records
- Built out asset, subsystem and component relationships
- Standardised hierarchy and naming requirements
- Identified missing, duplicated and misplaced records
- Aligned maintenance strategies with the revised structure
What changed
The operation gained a more consistent asset hierarchy and a stronger link between the equipment in the field, its maintenance requirements and the system used to manage it. This created a better foundation for planning, reporting and future strategy work.
Work Management Coaching and CMMS Training
Provided practical coaching and system training to planners, schedulers, supervisors and maintenance leaders using the site's own processes, work orders and operating environment.
What we walked into
Work management expectations were not being applied consistently. The quality of notifications, work orders, planning information, status management and close-out feedback depended heavily on the individual completing the task.
What 3DRP delivered
- Worked directly with planners and schedulers
- Reviewed live notifications and work orders
- Coached backlog preparation and prioritisation
- Improved job plan and work order quality
- Clarified planning, scheduling and supervision roles
- Delivered practical CMMS and process training
What changed
Teams developed a more consistent understanding of how work should move through the system. The coaching connected process expectations with daily CMMS use, helping improve work quality, accountability and maintenance history.
