Archi Indonesia, one of Southeast Asia’s largest pure-play gold producers, has joined forces with Slimstock to enhance its supply chain planning capabilities and drive operational efficiency.
As a majority-owned subsidiary of PT Rajawali Corpora, a renowned investment holding company with a diverse business portfolio, Archi Indonesia is committed to upholding world-class standards in the mining industry. With a vision of becoming the most cost-efficient, fully integrated mining company in Southeast Asia, Archi continuously strives for sustainable growth, implementing industry best practices, optimising current operations, and ensuring superior returns to all stakeholders.
Operating in the mining sector presents unique challenges for Archi Indonesia, particularly in maintaining heavy-weight machinery. The remote locations of its mining sites present logistical complexities. Patuan David Batubara, Supply Chain Department Head at Archi Indonesia, shares the importance of efficient supply chain management in guaranteeing the availability of essential equipment parts:
“Our industry faces many challenges, from fluctuating gold prices and market demands to logistics difficulties in remote areas. Ensuring the timely availability of critical parts is paramount. We recognised the need for a solution that helps us to enhance our spare parts fulfilment process to avoid production disruptions.”
Embracing innovation to enhance efficiency
To tackle these challenges, Archi Indonesia decided to implement Slimstock’s supply planning platform to optimise inventory management. This will ensure the timely availability of critical spare parts and maintenance supplies, which is crucial for its remote and complex mining operations.
“After carefully evaluating our options, Slimstock stood out not only for its powerful forecasting capabilities, but also for its local support and seamless integration with our existing systems. We are confident that this partnership will enhance our operational efficiency and help us achieve our goal of improving our inventory fulfilment rate from 94% to 98%,” explains Patuan David Batubara.
Positioned for sustainable growth
Looking ahead, Archi Indonesia is open to expanding its use of Slimstock’s solutions to new locations or incorporating additional features, contingent on the success of the initial implementation. This forward-thinking approach underscores the company’s commitment to continuous improvement and leadership in the mining industry.
