Strategic Stockpile Management & Optimisation 2010

Applying effective stockpile management strategies to eliminate wastage, maintain productivity and compliment the current demand for coal

Stockpile or stockyard management is an area that for the most part, goes unnoticed with little or no emphasis being placed on process improvements. Most individuals in charge of managing these stockpiles are left to use their gut feel when it comes to making management decisions. This however is and can no longer be the case!

In recent years, the demand for coal has been on the increase especially from coal-fired power plants, steel companies, cement companies and companies that use a large amount of coal in their day-to-day operations. This of course has a knock on effect on coal mines and inevitably, coal stockyards within those mines.

Heavy emphasis is now being placed on eliminating wastage within stockyards by looking at specific stockyard management systems. To take it a step further, many organisations are also looking at the designs, structure and ground support of their coal stockpiles; not to mention taking precautionary measures to avoid incidents such as spontaneous combustion, reduction of coal quality during movement and the degradation of coal due to environmental contaminants. The role of a stockpile manager is no longer as simple as it used to be and gut fee can no longer be a basis to make management decisions.
