Case Study: Yancoal achieves greater operational efficiency and intelligent mining capabilities with SAP

Bringing the vision of future intelligent mining enterprise to life

Yancoal, a leading Australian coal producer, needed to modernize its aging SAP ECC environment to support a more intelligent mining strategy. The company wanted better operational efficiency, lower total cost of ownership, improved user experience, and stronger visibility across mine planning, supply chain, and long-term profitability, using SAP solutions such as RISE with SAP and SAP S/4HANA Cloud, private edition.

SAP implemented an upgraded digital core with SAP S/4HANA, SAP Analytics Cloud, SAP Business Technology Platform, and SAP Signavio Process Insights Starter Pack to enable real-time data, automation, and better reporting. The results included a 20% productivity and efficiency saving over five years, a reduction in corporate reporting runtime from 25 minutes to 2 minutes, improved decision support, and a simpler user experience that boosted adoption and reduced training and IT support needs.
