Maintenance and service provisions made a significant impact in the selection process, alongside a company’s account managers.
Customers in Latin America are happy with their current supplier but one-quarter are open to change in the medium term.

Scope
The report is based on responses from a survey of over 100 senior managers at operating Latin American mines, responsible for the purchase of equipment for plant and mine operations, along with consumables.
Survey respondents came from 14 different countries, including Peru, Chile, Colombia, Brazil, Mexico, Venezuela, Dominican Republic and Bolivia.
This included five different commodity groups and a range of surface and underground mining operations.
Reasons to buy
Identify key areas for differentiation by understanding what factors most influence choice of supplier.
Target product and service improvement areas based on where mining equipment suppliers are currently underperforming relative to customer expectations.
Develop successful sales and marketing strategies through an understanding of the leading competitors and their strengths and weaknesses.
Key highlights
When choosing an equipment supplier, respondents rate ‘Product quality/reliability’ and the ‘Availability of replacement parts’ as most important, with 50% and 42% of respondents, respectively, indicating a need for improvement in those two areas.
Mines were most dissatisfied with cost related factors, namely ‘Maintenance and service costs’ and ‘Lowest (equipment) cost’.
Overall the major suppliers such as Caterpillar, Komatsu and Atlas Copco perform well in terms of customer satisfaction, with Caterpillar particularly dominant across each of the 16 factors examined.
While suppliers’ ‘maintenance and service provisions’ set them apart during the selection process, account managers make a significant impact as the respondents cited ‘Demonstrated product was superior’, ‘Better understanding of your needs’ and ‘Better timing of contact’ as key differentiating factors when choosing their current main supplier.
The three leading areas for improvement identified by respondents were ‘product quality and reliability’, ‘availability of replacement parts’, and ‘ability to support cost reduction/minimization’
