摘要:According to the article, digitalization and optimization of the coal industry are to continue within the framework of the National Technology Initiative (NTI), the Strategy for Scientific and Technological Development of the Russian Federation, and the Digital Economy Programme. At the initial stage of modernization, the suggested mathematical and software tools will allow creating a smart digital twin of the supply chain. This digital twin will simplify obtaining comprehensive data about the interaction of the focal coal mining enterprises and contractors, carrying out simulation experiments based on various input data, and analyzing the impact of inventory management and transport policies on the system performance. The digital model will enable the coal companies management to find reserves for optimization and transformation of all links in the added-value chain.
