Abstract

This study examined whether diesel consumption used by trucks at a stripping area is controlled or not. The factors affecting diesel consumption were also investigated and some necessary solutions were presented. Diesel consumption was observed with the aid of control graphs. Abnormal situations in the diesel consumption were explored by means of Shewhart control graphs. The factors which are out of control were also presented in a cause-effect diagram, and suggestions for improvement were proposed. It has been determined that the main effect of the diesel consumption is the daily run number of the trucks. The main factors affecting the daily run number were also investigated.
