Abstract

Because of geological incongruities of reserves, planning and operations of mines are different in each case. A research study was done from IIT(ISM) Dhanbad for developing computerized method studies for better performance and monitoring of a coal company. The research has also developed models for cost-benefit analysis of improved systems of mining operations on ground realities and database creation. The researchwas carried out by analyzing existing mines for developing model programsfor improvements. India has 320 billion tonnes of coal reserves and it is 7 percent of the reserve of the world. The energy consumption in India is about one-third of the world average and 60 percent of the installed capacity of energy in the country is based on thermal plants.The research has developed data-based computer methods in 14 original models; for result-oriented planning for multi-project scheduling and monitoring.Once, the techno-economics of coalmine reorganization is finalized, viz. programs run, scheduling of activities and monitoring for completion become valuable. Research conducted caused better performance and profit for the company.
