Author(s): Wenguang Liang, Jing Duan

It is well known coal production and transport has been maintaining our production operations in important ways, the coal energy and reasonable production and transport, as well as energy efficiency improvements, and other issues are the hot spots. In this paper, coal production and transport problem is regarded as the research object, and the coal production problem is transformed into a transportation problem, then the transport problem is transformed into an optimization problem. Firstly, the northwest-corner method, smallest element method and Vogel method are respectively used to solve the problem, and several initial solutions are obtained, and they are analyzed and contrasted, then the result of Vogel method is chosen as a starting point optimization. Then, using closed loop method and the potential method to test and adjust the result, finally obtains the optimal scheme
