Our team of consultants have continual exposure to a vast array of best practice systems and leading edge technology in a number of industry segments. We offer process improvement recommendations that align with your individual strategic objectives. QMASTOR consulting services include:
Data Feasibility Studies (DFS)
A DFS is often conducted prior to the installation of a QMASTOR management information system. It involves thorough analysis and documentation of existing and desired systems, processes and procedures via site visits with relevant stakeholders. Identification of best practice business process definition; applicable standards; workflow and data flow; IT infrastructure; security policies; integration requirements; key users requirements and data mapping occurs to ensure both QMASTOR and client have a clear understanding of objectives. The DFS is conducted at a level of detail that ensures pricing, project scope and relevant benefits of the QMASTOR information system are known prior to implementation. Deliverables include a functional specification and proposed system(s) architecture.
Quality and Supply Chain Audits
Identifying how and where value can be added to the quality management and logistics functions of a business is achieved by auditing existing practices and providing recommendations for improvement. Whether through the identification of broken information linkages across the supply chain, silo databases or spreadsheets, duplicate data entry, inefficient manual data entry or out of sync quality data, QMASTOR can advise on how to best utilise the current data available and turn it into information for business improvement. QMASTOR consultants can recommend priority initiatives for quality and supply chain improvement to increase the profitability of any bulk commodity company.
Strategic Information Systems Planning
QMASTOR can provide mining and bulk material management companies with a strategic IS plan that aligns investment in information systems with organisational objectives. With a plethora of mining information systems on the market, decisions regarding selection, priority and strategic fit can create a complex and often time consuming business dilemma. An IS plan provides guidance in identifying priority subsets of an IS map for development and delivery as systems implementation projects over time.
A strategic IS plan developed by QMASTOR provides an effective framework for technology architecture and acquisition strategy, leveraging information systems to maximise business value.
