○ Responsible for achieving production and cash flow goals
Eight different mines feed into the same preparation plant
The Information System
The Sales Value Production Module (SVP)SVP was developed “In-House”
○ The system was created just for the Cumberland Resources Corporation
Ease of Use○ The system was chosen because it
was advanced, accurate and easy to learn

-The driver scans an ID card which records how much coal is in the truck, which mine the coal came from and how much rock is in the coal
The Information System
Outgoing CoalSent by Railroad
○ The RFID tags know how much coal is on the train and what the weight capacity of the train is
○ This also tracks the completion of the transaction
Billing○ The Bill of Landing is automatically to ensure
accounting accuracy

Date – The date the coal/rock was delivered. Dock – The area at the preparation facility the
material was delivered.Raw Coal – Amount of raw coal material
delivered to the dock.Clean Tons – The total amount of raw material
(coal) that was cleaned of rock% Clean - The percentage of the raw tons that
