Case Study: Roy Hill (major iron‑ore mining operation) achieves faster, data-driven operational improvements with Workday Adaptive Planning

Roy Hill Goes Deep on Data to Drive Performance

Roy Hill is a large integrated iron‑ore mining, processing, rail and port operation in Western Australia’s Pilbara region with capacity of 55 million tonnes per year. Facing the complexity of coordinating five core systems, meeting demand and supply targets, and ensuring consistent product quality and safety, the company needed fast visibility into more than 500 operational metrics to drive continuous improvement.

Roy Hill implemented Adaptive Discovery (Adaptive Insights), using metrics driver trees, tailored dashboards (from mobile to its Remote Operations Centre) and enhanced control charts to create a single, near‑hourly source of truth. The result: faster, data‑driven decisions and drill‑down analysis, reduced variation across the demand chain, improved process predictability and product quality, increased throughput and lower operating costs as the business scales to full capacity.
