How We Develop It

Working Methodology

A structured two-phase process that ensures robust results and continuous on-site support.

Phase 1 Development & Implementation
01

Field Survey

Diagnosis of existing instrumentation: signal quality, measurement point coverage and gaps against balance requirements.

02

Process Diagram Development

Construction of the plant functional diagram, identifying all flows, stocks and nodes relevant to metallurgical accounting.

03

Sensitivity Analysis

Evaluation of the impact of measurement uncertainty on flows and stocks, determining critical points for balance robustness.

04

Reconciler Development

Implementation of the statistical data reconciliation model, with measurement adjustment and estimation of directly unmeasured variables.

05

Balance Reporting

Configuration of reports and dashboards adapted to the operational and management requirements of the site, with real-time indicators.

Phase 2 Support & Continuous Improvement
06

Instrumentation Review

Periodic on-site presence of our specialists to verify the condition of instrumentation and ensure input data quality.

07

Improvement Opportunities

Proposal of key operating indicators (KPIs) and improvement initiatives identified through continuous balance analysis.

08

Study Support

Permanent technical support for operational studies and analytical tools that require balance information as a foundation.
