Ways of Rationalization of Unit Cost of Production in the Mining Company

Abstract

Selected results of analytical studies on the possible ways of reduction of the unit cost of production for the mining company are presented. The main element that has an essential influence on the trend of the unit cost of production is the fixed unit cost presented as a function of two indices: w1 – utilization of production capacity and w2 – fixed cost referred to the unit of production capacity. A method of quantitative assessment of surplus of the unit cost of production is described. Operations directed to the reduction of the unit cost of production are characterized.
