Developing a Global Reliability Solution for a Mining Organisation
Adam Zaranski, Rio Tinto Group

Rio Tinto is one of the world’s leading mining companies with facilities spread around the globe. Rio Tinto’s mined products include coal, copper, iron, uranium, gold, diamonds, aluminium and industrial minerals. The nature of such a large-scale mining effort demands that Rio Tinto maintain a significant investment in industrial equipment assets. The level of effort and cost to maintain such equipment to the highest levels of performance and safety has driven Rio Tinto to evaluate and optimize maintenance and reliability procedures, work processes, and enabling technologies on a global scale.
