Function
Operations and Corporate Finance
Challenges
• Existing bottom-up planning platform
supported some scenario capabilities
but not a pragmatic enterprise-wide
model
• Various high level models in Excel but
were facing the typical challenges: single
period models; static; difficult to visualise
as it wasn’t dynamic; not shared widely
and unable to scale
Objective
• Phase 1: Deliver a holistic view for the
entire business to perform what-if
analysis during budgeting and
reforecasting
• Phase 2: Extend model to include
detailed operational drivers for key
operations
• Phase 3: Extend model to other
operations
• PanAust is an Australian-headquartered copper and gold producer in Laos with pre-development and exploration opportunities in Laos,
Papua New Guinea and Chile.
• Implemented initial Phase 1 project in three months. A model with 314 KPIs and drivers. One analyst from Corporate did complete
definition assisted by one technical part-time resource. Phase 2 was implemented in three months, with the model expanding to 1400 KPIs /
nodes. One analyst from Operations in Laos defined and configured the model assisted by one technical part-time resource.
“It provides real-time information and simulation capabilities that assist our business in understanding the financial sensitivities from a
price volume perspective. They also assist the business as follows:
• Finance can easily get the NPAT impact from changes in cost drivers (e.g. metal prices) by just clicking in the model.
• Scenario comparison during forecasting and budgeting process.
• Easily calculate the cost savings/opportunities or risk impacts to the Operations.
• The supply team analyse the benefits of a cheaper commodity price versus consumption usage.
We were able to model all the specific drivers and calculations requested by the business. The configuration of a model is simple and fast
as long as you are familiar with your business model.”
