Survey finds room for improvement for N American mining equipment OEMs

A recent white paper from Timetric’s Mining Intelligence Centre (MIC) looked at the key trends in the North American mining equipment market, and found that three core areas including product quality/reliability, availability of parts and ability to support cost reduction/minimisation required improvement by their current suppliers. The survey canvassed more than 100 mining equipment buyers and decision-makers about the range of issues they faced when buying equipment. More than 40% of the respondents nominated the top three issues.
