Coal Safety Stock Tip: Should I hold more stock before a high-production week?

Possibly, but the answer should come from real fuel use and delivery risk.

Review:
• Expected daily coal consumption
• Peak production demand
• Supplier lead time
• Delivery reliability
• Usable stock on site
• Weather or transport risk

Do not treat every tonne on the stockpile as immediately usable.

Wet, contaminated or inaccessible material may reduce the real buffer.

Set the safety stock high enough to protect production without creating unnecessary storage and cash-flow pressure.

Calculate the reorder point before production increases.

Which supply risk should be included in your safety-stock allowance?

Coal Operating Cost: How do I calculate the cost of an inconsistent load?

Start with the invoice, then add the cost created inside the plant.

An inconsistent load may increase:
• Coal consumed per unit of output
• Operator adjustment time
• Ash handling
• Cleaning and maintenance
• Production delays
• Downtime risk

Compare the load with a normal delivery under similar operating conditions.

The useful measure is total cost per unit of production, not price per tonne alone.

A lower purchase price can disappear quickly when the plant burns more fuel or loses productive time.

Calculate the total cost per unit of output for one inconsistent delivery.

Which hidden operating cost changes your supplier comparison most?
