| Tiivistelmä: | The strategic problem of moving coal from mines in the west of Canada to power stations 3000km away in the east is described. The western coal industry has a number of opportunities for expansion, but they depend on its ability to remain competitive. Transport accounts for over 60 p.c. of final selling price, so it is particularly important to organize it efficiently. A simulation model was built to evaluate the alternative routes across Canada. Many organizations are involved in this movement, so the model provides a range of information. This requires a substantial database to describe all aspects of operations. The information supplied by the model can help in making strategic decisions in a number of areas. |
