Abstract
Grinding is a crucial stage in ore beneficiation, responsible for reducing particle size and increasing contact area for chemical reactions. Therefore, ensuring high reliability in raw material grinding is essential to avoid operational failures and production losses. The quality of grinding directly affects subsequent processes like calcination, leaching, and other Chemical treatments, underscoring the criticality of reliable operation. The overall goal of enhancing grinding reliability and efficiency was achieved through identifying and prioritizing production loss-inducing failures. Business intelligence analysis using Microsoft's Power BI software enabled the identification of suitable methodologies for optimizing reliability and prioritizing the treatment of specific failures. This failure mode analysis methodology provided valuable insights for addressing failures based on their production impact, resulting in improved reliability and productivity in the grinding sector.
