Because of geological incongruities of reserves, planning and operations of mines aredifferent in each case. A research study was done from IIT(ISM) Dhanbad for developingcomputerized method studies for better performance and monitoring of a coal company.The research has also developed models for cost-benefit analysis of improved systems ofmining operations on ground realities and database creation. The researchwas carried outby analyzing existing mines for developing model programsfor improvements. India has320 billion tonnes of coal reserves and it is 7 percent of the reserve of the world. Theenergy consumption in India is about one-third of the world average and 60 percent of theinstalled capacity of energy in the country is based on thermal plants.The research hasdeveloped data-based computer methods in 14 original models; for result-orientedplanning for multi-project scheduling and monitoring.Once, the techno-economics ofcoalmine reorganization is finalized, viz. programs run, scheduling of activities andmonitoring for completion become valuable. Research conducted caused betterperformance and profit for the company.
