Question:
7J Coal Mining is among the existing and running coal mining independent businesses in the province of Surigao del Sur, located in P-9 Sitio Sikahoy, Brgy. San Jose, Bislig City. The business' nature is mining, which also includes the transportation of the extracted material to the designated locations of its buyers. Coal is obtained by extracting it from both above-and below-ground sources through the process of mining. Coal mining is an essential industry when it comes to factories needing fuel for their production, thus making coal mining industries an important service to factories to supply their production processes with a substantial amount of fuel.
Since beginning operations in December 2019, 7J Coal Mining has made an average of 180 trips every year from Bislig to Cebu to import coal to various manufacturing facilities. Their transportation is carried out by four 10-wheeler trucks rented by different owners of the wheeler trucks. In this case, analysis, we would like to go beyond to estimate the fastest and most efficient way to import coal and to see if the demand and supply are equal
maintain the condition of the 10-wheeler truck as a transportation vehicle while struggling with different factors that usually affect and threaten this. and also, to see if the demand and supply are equal
Statement of the Problem
The main issue in this case analysis is how the transportation will deal with two issues or challenges using various plans and techniques.
- What is the most efficient and fastest route from San Jose, Bislig City (7J Coal Mining base) to San Fernando, Cebu (Buyer location)?
- How can 7J Coal Mining minimize cost in terms of vehicular cost in repairs and maintenance?
- where total supply and total demand are equal.
Areas of Consideration
7J Coal mining seeks to minimize the cost of delivery and find efficient ways to deliver loads of supply. The areas that need to be considered in improving the services of Coal Mining are:
- The route to which the delivery transportation cost is quick, efficient and requires minimal cost in order to execute the delivery. The cost includes the following:
- Human labor cost
- Vehicle fuel cost
- The transportation vehicle that the 7J coal mining uses is not in good condition to be used in multiple deliveries and is hindering most of their services.
