Abstract

Productivity improvement and cost control have become key objectives of SCCL coal mines in recent years. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Bench marking etc are very popular tools in productive improvement which can aggregate the input and output components in such situations for obtaining an overall performance measure to improve productivity. Selected various coal mines in SCCL and calculated relative efficiency of mines by using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) which helps to rank them based on their efficiency score. Discussed and analyzed the improvement areas of in-efficient coal mines.
