Abstract
An underground coal mine in Pennsylvania was selected for study of increasing production by reducing the delays caused by the supply function. A solution is the use of an underground forklift for movement supplies in pallet loads. The reduction in manhours, material wastage, injuries and the increase in available production time can result in an annual savings of $105,000 per section for the mine under study.
