SALES VALUE PRODUCTION

MODULE

By: Lacey Stallard & Mike Hauer

The Company Cumberland Resources Corporation

Annually they produce over 9 million tons of coal that needs to moved and tracked annually

This coal comes from over 100,000 acres ○ An advanced system is needed to be accurate in

their efforts

The Company

Operate on a decentralized basisEach mine’s operation is autonomous

○ Responsible for achieving production and cash flow goals

Eight different mines feed into the same preparation plant

The Information System

The Sales Value Production Module (SVP)SVP was developed “In-House”

○ The system was created just for the Cumberland Resources Corporation

Ease of Use○ The system was chosen because it

was advanced, accurate and easy to learn

The Information System

-The SVP system gets it’s information from daily reports obtained from the plant

-The driver scans an ID card which records how much coal is in the truck, which mine the coal came from and how much rock is in the coal

The Information System

Outgoing CoalSent by Railroad

○ The RFID tags know how much coal is on the train and what the weight capacity of the train is

○ This also tracks the completion of the transaction

Billing○ The Bill of Landing is automatically to ensure

accounting accuracy

Assuming Responsibility

Starts When Activities in Event

Truck passes through scales to be weighed

Barcode Reader, surveillance camera, and plant engineer

Truck brings coal from mine to prep plant

Barcode is read to indentify where the truck is coming from. Truck is weighed to detect how many tons it is bringing in.

RFID Tag on train cars displays how many tons are being taken out of loadout facility

RFID tag, surveillance cameras, loadout operators

Coal brought in has been cleaned and ready to be delivered to customers

Each car carries a predetermined amount of tons so the exact tonnage being sent out is known. Bill of Lading is sent upon completion.

All Data throughout day is sent to a central database

Database Truck’s weight is read and RFID tags are scanned

All data is stored in the database until midnight.

Database information sent to Sales Value Production System (SVP)

SVP, IT department Database information is automatically sent at midnight

All information gathered from prep plant that day is stored in the SVP system. Info includes mine name, coal seam, and final product destination.

Analysis of Data

Date – The date the coal/rock was delivered. Dock – The area at the preparation facility the

material was delivered.Raw Coal – Amount of raw coal material

delivered to the dock.Clean Tons – The total amount of raw material

(coal) that was cleaned of rock% Clean - The percentage of the raw tons that

has been cleaned of rock.Sellable Coal Tons – Processed clean tons

plus direct ship tons available for sale

The Dataset

Analysis (cont.) CRC will ship approximately 3.4 million tons

of coal to its customers this yearThey will have to process over 6 million tons of

raw material to recover 2.7 million tons of coal Over 700 thousand tons will be shipped without

processing costs CRC is very satisfied with their system

because they created exactly what they wanted

Necessary measures are taken when rock content is too high
