Technological Ensuring of Production Competitiveness of Mining and Processing Enterprises

Abstract

The significant reduction in the volume of production of concentrate at the Ordzhonikidzevsky mining and processing enterprise, which led to an increase in the cost of manganese ore and concentrate due to the increase in specific conditional-fixed costs for mining of overburden rocks by the bucket wheel complexes is analyzed. The dependencies between the cost of ore and concentrate on the volume of ore production and concentrate production are determined. As a result of the unevenness of production volumes and the unevenness of the volumes of shipment of production that do not coincide with each other, is substantiated that the mining and processing enterprise has to block certain amounts of funds, which leads to increased production costs.

Managing mining enterprise productivity by open pit reconstruction

“…According to this aspect, the scenarios of changes in the market situation in the design and current planning of mining operations [5], conceptual provisions for determining the capacity and terms for cleaning-up of open pit fields [6] were considered. The importance of managing the volume of produced products by adapting the mining and processing enterprise to its changing demand was underlined by scientists [7,8]. The function of expenses form production volume was proposed.…”
