Asset management excellence for the mining industry
Mining organisations operate in an environment defined by safety risk, capital intensity and operational volatility. To remain competitive and sustainable, mining leaders must bridge the gap between current operational realities and future performance expectations.
At Pragma, we help mining companies strengthen their asset management strategies, policies and procedures in line with industry best practice. We support mining leaders in aligning strategy with execution, embedding reliability in operations and building lasting asset management capability across the business. Effective asset management improves reliability, maximises equipment availability and supports disciplined capital allocation and cost control across mining operations.
This is where Pragma adds value. We close the gap between the current state of asset management at many mining houses and optimal asset performance by combining strategy, execution, digital systems and capability development.
Asset management strategy for mining operations
Asset management plays a critical role throughout the mining asset lifecycle, from mine planning and development through to steady-state operations. While external factors such as commodity prices and geology are outside management control, the condition, availability and reliability of assets are not.
Pragma supports mining organisations with practical asset management strategies that improve decision-making, governance and performance. We work with leadership teams to define asset management frameworks, policies and processes that align with business objectives and safety requirements, and that can be executed consistently across sites.
Execution excellence through business process outsourcing (BPO)
Advances in technology and digitalisation have transformed how mining companies manage assets. Pragma’s world-class enterprise asset management (EAM) software, On Key, enables improved forecasting, planning, control and reporting across maintenance and asset management activities.
Our EAM solutions integrate seamlessly with ERP systems, providing a single source of truth for asset data, work management and performance insights. This digital foundation supports predictive maintenance, reliability engineering and informed lifecycle decision-making, helping mining organisations reduce downtime and extend asset life.
Enterprise asset management (EAM) and digital enablement
Many mining organisations struggle to sustain asset management improvements due to capacity constraints, skills shortages and inconsistent execution. Pragma addresses this through asset management and maintenance business process outsourcing.
Our teams manage defined asset management and maintenance processes on behalf of clients, ensuring consistent execution, compliance with standards and continuous improvement. This enables mining houses to focus on core production activities while improving reliability, availability and cost control.
Building technical capability through training
Stricter legislation, advancing mining technologies and increasing automation demand highly competent technical and asset management skills. Mining organisations require qualified planners, schedulers, artisans, reliability engineers and data specialists who understand both maintenance execution and asset management principles.
Pragma’s Academy provides accredited, role-based training programmes tailored to mining asset management and maintenance roles. Structured learning pathways support skills development, succession planning and long-term capability building, ensuring improvements are embedded and sustained.
Reliability, engineering and operational risk management
Frequent equipment failures, extended downtime and safety incidents are often the result of weak reliability practices. Pragma helps mining organisations embed reliability engineering into daily operations to improve asset performance, reduce risk and support safe, sustainable production.
Our reliability engineering approach focuses on critical assets and applies structured methods such as reliability-centred maintenance (RCM), failure mode analysis, condition monitoring, root cause analysis and predictive maintenance. These practices reduce unplanned downtime and extend asset life.
Reliability is closely linked to compliance and operational risk in mining. Pragma supports standardised maintenance processes, safe work execution and accurate reporting through enterprise asset management systems and mobile work management tools.
Our services are delivered through consulting, embedded engineers and role-based training, ensuring reliability improvements are practical, sustained and aligned with broader asset management objectives.
Optimising maintenance budgets and asset performance
Declining maintenance budgets place increasing pressure on mining operations, often resulting in deferred maintenance, frequent breakdowns and reduced productivity. Pragma helps mining organisations optimise maintenance spend without compromising safety or performance by focusing on:
Criticality analysis and risk-based maintenance
Predictive and condition-based maintenance strategies
Lifecycle costing and asset replacement planning
Standardisation of equipment and spare parts management
These practices improve budget predictability, asset performance and operational resilience.
Standardising maintenance processes in mining operations
Standardised maintenance processes are essential for improving safety, efficiency and reliability in mining. Pragma supports standardisation through preventive maintenance programmes, enterprise asset management systems, standard operating procedures and continuous improvement frameworks.
Digital tools such as mobile work management applications and asset performance monitoring solutions enable consistent execution, improved visibility and better control of maintenance activities across sites.
Master data management as a performance enabler
Accurate and reliable asset data underpins effective maintenance and asset management. Pragma supports mining organisations with master data management (MDM) to ensure asset information is accurate, consistent and governed.
Strong MDM enables predictive maintenance, regulatory compliance, cost control and informed decision-making across mining operations, forming the foundation for sustained asset performance improvement.
Integrated planning across maintenance, engineering and supply chain
Effective collaboration between maintenance, engineering and supply chain functions is critical to mining performance. Pragma helps mining organisations integrate planning, materials management and execution through EAM and ERP-enabled processes.
Improved coordination ensures timely availability of spares, reduced downtime, lower inventory costs and enhanced safety performance.
