A River Logic Case Study
The Integrated Mining and Chemicals Company, a multi‑billion‑dollar global operator with nearly two dozen mining and processing sites, faced an overly complex, Excel‑based planning process that couldn’t evaluate upstream/downstream trade‑offs, shipping variables, product‑ and customer‑level profitability, or multi‑currency impacts. To address these challenges it engaged River Logic for a combined monthly (24‑month) and strategic (30+ year) planning solution.
River Logic implemented a single Intelligent Model that represents the company’s mine‑to‑customer processes and financials, supporting mid‑term and long‑term optimization and validated analytics. Within six months the River Logic deployment produced a 3–5% improvement in NPV—valued at $45–$80M—and uncovered forecasting and planning issues (e.g., unrealistic price forecasts), enabling faster, higher‑value decisions across the value chain.
