As commodity markets rebound, the window of opportunity for mining operators to drive supply chain savings is narrowing.

In this discussion, we look at:

• Recent trends in commodity metals pricing
• How these trends represent a strategic – and narrowing – opportunity for mining operators to capture savings
• Key components of a strategic roadmap for how mining supply chains can effectively leverage current market conditions to achieve market-based savings and protect against future inflation risk

In this discussion we look at the building blocks needed to understand supply chain risk across the enterprise and dig deep into the cost structure of mining tires to answer the following questions:

• What are the drivers behind the rise and fall of mining tire prices in different regions?
• What are the bottlenecks with your supply of mining tires?
• What does the future look like for key mining tire suppliers?
