Deswik Webinar: How Optimising a Complex Coal Value Chain Added $500M in Value to the Profit Margin.
Tuesday | November 25th at 2:00pm AEDT

Operating complex mining value chains is a constant balancing act. Washery cut-points, multi-site blending, transport bottlenecks, vessel laycans, and volatile market prices all compete for attention. Making the right decisions across these variables is challenging – but the payoff can be substantial.

In this webinar, we’ll show how Deswik BOLT, powered by Gurobi, unified these decisions into a single optimisation platform for an Indonesian coal producer – unlocking an additional $500M in profit margins.

We’ll walk through how BOLT modelled key supply chain components spanning mines, stockpiles, blending, processing, logistics, port operations, and marketing. You’ll see how it handled real-world complexity, including:

• Multiple mines feeding several Coal Handling Preparation Plants (CHPPs)
• Flexible transport options (trucking and barging) to port
• Over ten different product grade qualities
• Transhipments to market

We’ll also explore how BOLT optimised commodity pricing, yield–quality trade-offs, plant performance, and contract commitments to deliver the optimal product mix – proving the value of integrated decision-making.
