Transportation Performance Measurement for Coal Mining: A Review and Framework

Abstract

Industries including transportation companies depend on their assets and normally utilize them to maximize their productivity. To increase profitability, companies need to reduce their unit cost and improve productivity by utilizing their equipment effectively to gain more income. A typical measurement for equipment effectiveness is overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). The OEE concept has evolved and developed in the transportation sector, with different names and terms. Therefore, this study was conducted to review and analyze the evolution and development of OEE in the road transportation sector. It was also to modify existing transportation overall vehicle effectiveness (TOVE) which is an extended version of the OEE as an indicator to measure vehicle effectiveness in a coal mining transportation company. This study was able to identify the evolution of OEE in road transportation sector and also propose the new vehicle effectiveness indicators in coal mining transportation companies.
