When Can We Minimize Life Cycle Costs? • If 85% to 97% of base life cycle costs are committed by the time equipment is handed over to operations & maintenance, we can influence i fl life lif cycle l costs t mostt in i the capital process.
How Can We Minimize Life Cycle Costs? • By following a structured process to capture all opportunities / minimize ‘defects’ defects • Alcoa has developed structured processes for – New facilities/major expansions – Smaller projects within sustaining facilities
• PPRA (Pre-Production Reliability Activities) – Based on BE&K’s Preproduction Reliability Maintenance Activities
PPRA Objectives • Minimize the cost of production while meeting operational & EHS requirements • Integrate new assets into facilities quickly & seamlessly – When the button is pressed, 100% capacity is achieved quickly and sustainably.
• Increase asset performance and minimize life cycle costs – Operating, maintenance & disposal costs can total 20x total i installed ll d costs. They Th are worth h minimizing! i i i i !

PPRA Deliverables 9.
Commissioning and Start-up Start up Plans that manage all the activities that maintenance personnel will complete during the project’s commissioning and start-up plans, and ensures: –
precision installation by taking PdM baselines
–
punchlists are generated
–
spare parts hand-over process exists
–
vendor provided training is provided vendor-provided
–
EMPs are achievable
–
final versions of documentation is received (i.e. commissioning and validation documents, engineering drawings and vendor manuals)

Estimated Costs and Benefits • Estimated Cost to Complete PPRA – 0.5 to 1% TIC (Total Installed Cost) or 3% Equipment Cost – NB: Multidiscipline team is needed with man-hour requirements increasing through the project
• Estimated i d Benefits fi – 40% reduction in spare parts purchased vs. OEM recommendation – 20% reduction in total life cycle costs, including 20% reduction in maintenance labor hours (actual vs. OEM recommended EMP) – When the button is pushed, things work and keep working, and 100% capacity is quickly reached
Next Steps 1. One box in the Reliability Model not fully covered by the PPRA – OPERATIONS
•
Incorporate Operational Considerations into the PPRA
9 Aligns with gaining optimal reliability to suit business & EHS needs in capital projects
2. Push the use of financial modeling in making decisions 3. Increase the availability of tools and templates • Using PPRA SharePoint Site
4. As the number of projects completing the PPRA increases, g expertise/help p / p chains at regional g and plant p levels strengthen

Oxalate Capacity Increase: VSD motors specified in equipment specification to align with plant’s initiative to reduce energy consumption
•
Cathode Relining Facility: Equipment placement on crane altered to improve access & common parts specified in design to match other plant cranes
•
Alumina Load Chute*: Incorporated design improvements and maintenance tasks developed at another facility that reduced change-out change out of major components from 12 to 3 times per year
•
Water Segregation Network Phase 2: Incorporated learning from Phase 1 and ensured that Plant SMC equipment specifications were used (cost = € 7.4k, 7 4k est. est = €14.8k in reduced equipment cost, EMP, spare parts and training)
•
Greenmill Scrubber: EMPs developed for AU$40k. Compared to RTF Strategy for 1 year at 15% pa hurdle rate, savings = AU$578.8k (including $38.8k R&M)
