MODELLING FOR MAJOR CAPITAL AND OPERATING DECISIONS.

Decision evidence, before the capital is committed.

MISIM builds the models that tell owners what a project or operating change will deliver, across mining, terminals, logistics, and complex industrial processes. We work directly with owners and alongside their engineering teams.

Industry-Leading Experience

Our team brings decades of expertise, having worked with these global leaders in previous roles:

Our Solutions

The answer you can defend

MISIM builds the models owners rely on to make their biggest decisions: new projects, operating changes, and capital allocation across the value chain. Our work has saved clients hundreds of millions of dollars and was selected by INFORMS as one of the world’s best applications of analytical decision-making.

  • Digital Twins and Simulation.

    Test a new project, an expansion, or an operating change before you commit to it. MISIM models what the system will actually do, so the decision rests on evidence, not assumption.

  • Consulting.

    Bring in specialists who have modelled major mining, terminal, and logistics systems through to sanction. We help you frame the decision, size the capital, and defend the numbers.

  • Model Custodianship.

    A model is only useful if it stays trustworthy. MISIM maintains and governs your model as a living asset, so it holds up every time a new decision depends on it.

  • Model Audits.

    Relying on a model someone else built? We check whether it can bear the weight of the decision, find what it gets wrong, and tell you where to trust it and where not to.

$500M+

Estimated NPV Improvement

Published research on BHP’s Jansen Potash Project documents how integrated simulation helped increase estimated Stage 1 production capacity by 15–20%, with approximately two-thirds of that improvement attributed to the modelling. The projected production gains contributed more than $500 million in estimated NPV improvement.

The work also supported approximately $300 million in capital expenditure deferral. MISIM’s founder served as modelling lead.

Decisions from Data

The Science of Simulation

Our models represent the interactions between equipment, resources, storage and operating rules to establish achievable production and evaluate alternatives. From focused operational studies to integrated mine-to-market systems, the objective is the same: credible analysis that supports better engineering and investment decisions.
