COAL MINING COMPLEX IN THE BAIKAL-AMUR RAILWAY AREA: STATE AND PROSPECTS FOR DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

The analysis of the state, prospects and problems for the development of the coal mining complex in the area of the Baikal-Amur railway is carried out. The information on the developed and planned for the development of coal deposits in the region is presented. The market requirements for the quality of solid fuel are considered. It is shown that the current documents of the federal and regional levels, which determine the strategy of the enterprises that carry out or plan their work in the field of mining, enrichment and supply of coal to consumers, require additional approval and clarification. The systematic approach used allows us to identify such inconsistencies and consider the possibilities of correction. Measures are proposed to improve the efficiency of the coal complex enterprises. The problem of improving the efficiency and competitiveness of coal supply chains is considered. The role and place of quality management of coal products in order to achieve planned goals are indicated.
