Case Study: Yancoal Australia achieves haulage productivity gains with RPMGlobal's HAULSIM

Mount Thorley Warkworth unlocks haulage productivity with HAULSIM

Yancoal Australia, operator of the Mount Thorley Warkworth complex, needed a way to drive continuous improvement in haulage decisions by accurately modelling alternative haulage routes and quantifying outcomes to reduce costs and improve profitability. To address this, Yancoal Australia selected RPMGlobal’s HAULSIM haulage simulation solution.

RPMGlobal implemented HAULSIM — a 3‑D discrete‑event simulation/digital twin that links fleet assets, operational plans and people to quantify the impact of route and design changes; its intuitive UI enabled rapid in‑house model building. Using HAULSIM, Yancoal Australia now runs daily “what‑if” scenarios, quantifies cost‑benefit before changes, compares theoretical and actual cycle times, and has embedded data‑driven decision making into operations—unlocking haulage productivity, creating a continuous‑improvement culture and delivering measurable improvements to operational and profitability metrics.
