THE FINANCIAL IMPACT OF INEFFICIENCIES
The estimated costs involved with these challenges include the huge cost of downtime, any damage or rework required for critical service materials, and manual handling issues that slow or disrupt operations.
These combined for a total of $270k to $510k.
Estimated Cost Breakdown
- Cost of downtime: $240k-$400k
- Damage/rework: $10k-$30k
- Manual handling issues: $20k-$80k
COST-DRIVEN TRANSPORT SOLUTION
DAYWALK addressed these challenges by custom-engineered a 20ft Shutdown Service Container Kit that simplified logistics, improved workflow. The two containers removed major operational inefficiencies, allowing a minimisation of downtime and a control of related costs.
Where traditional pallet-based methods create delays, risk, and lost productivity, DAYWALK delivered a certified, engineered, turnkey system that gave Fortescue:
- Speed
- Stability
- Safety
- Reliability
- Predictability
- Operational savings

EFFICIENCY
DAYWALK successfully delivered this project within an accelerated timeframe: just three months from initial enquiry to final delivery. The outcome was highly praised for its meticulous attention to detail, seamless execution, and outstanding service. By managing compliance and efficient logistics during shutdown, DAYWALK removed a significant operational burden, enabling the client to focus on their core priority – efficiency.
In total, the estimated cost of the previous shutdown and operational changes ranged from $270k to $510k. However, the DAYWALK solutions provided an excellent return-on-investment with a total cost of $90k-$110k. That’s a potential saving of $420k.
