Innovative Concept of Production Support System for the LW Bogdanka Mine

Abstract

The research work results, presented in the article, describe a system concerning the management of a production line in the aspect of stabilization and improvement of the run-of-mine quality and maximization of economic effects. Basing on the geological deposit model, the authors concentrated on designing mining operations and on planning production parameters. Special attention was paid to a development of the mine workings design module, the mining operations scheduling module, the module for mixing and optimization from the quality point of view as well as the module for mining operations revenues and forecasts of costs. Forecasting the production quality, planning and integration of mining processes with coal preparation processes and sales are discussed in detail. The article is ended with some recommendations of general character, including quality management at the stage of mining and production planning, quality monitoring at the stage of coal mining, and its preparation. The system is oriented onto production quality forecasting and onto an integration of mining, preparation and sales planning.
