Abstract
Barging is an essential activity in the coal supply chain. The barging process takes place in the stockpile area near the port. There are some types of equipment used for the barging process, such as wheel loaders, excavators, and belt conveyors. There was a problem with coal barging activity. The wheel loader and excavator did not achieve the productivity target to feed the belt conveyor. In actuality, productivity targets only 431.17 tons/hr from 500 tons/hr. This research aims to analyze the causes of inadequate productivity of equipment in supporting barging activities, as well as simulating equipment combinations in order to achieve productivity targets. After analyzing the productivity of the two types of equipment, a wheel loader simulation was carried out, and it was determined that adding one unit of wheel loader could achieve the target. The total productivity would be 597.93 tons/hour.
