Project Management Model for Opening of the Opencast Mine Radljevo in the Kolubara Coal Basin

Abstract

Selection of the optimal variant for opening and development of the opencast mine is based on the organized, systematized and fundamental research of different natural, technical and economic mining project determinants. This is necessary but not sufficient condition for successful implementation of the mining projects. Mining capital projects, such as are the opening of new opencast mines, are very complex due to the influence of a number of internal and external technical, technological, economic and natural factors and the limitations resulting from the natural deposit conditions as well as from the socio - economic environment. Environment of the project for the opening of the opencast coal mine Radljevo is very complex and involves a series of deterministic and stochastic processes. In order to manage efficiently and effectively the project, it is necessary to synthesize a large number of skills, tools and techniques in the project management development plan, which is ensured by a good project management, achieving a better project results.
