Case Study: Diversified Canadian Miner maximises planning value with RPMGlobal's XPAC Solutions

Canadian mining company maximises planning value with XPAC Solutions

Diversified Canadian Miner, a large multi-operational coal producer, faced growing pressure to strengthen finances, improve productivity and make planning more responsive across multiple sites. Their existing scheduling tool was slow to adapt to changes—requiring extensive rework of dump staging and haul routes—and the company needed a solution that would let dispersed planning teams rapidly run and compare scenarios without relying on costly specialist consultants. RPMGlobal’s XPAC Solutions was selected to meet these needs.

RPMGlobal implemented XPAC Solutions to provide a single, parametric scheduling platform for budgets, forecasts and mid- to long-term plans; training was completed in weeks and the tool was rolled out across sites. As a result, all forecast and 10‑year plans are now run in XPAC Solutions, one site increased forecast options from 2–3 to 30+, schedules now include finer equipment estimation and waste placement detail, and an active user community has driven productivity and competency gains. RPMGlobal’s solution therefore delivered faster scenario analysis, more accurate haulage and planning models, and measurable efficiency improvements.
