The application of an Expert System to plan coal blending for coke production is described in this article. The object of this coal blending plan, Compass-88, is to produce coke of stable quality at low cost while maintaining the optimum use of the coal yard. The monthly coal blending planning work previously depended on an experienced operator. The Expert System approach has helped to reduce planning time and has standardized the planning method. This expert system has been managing coal blending and coke quality control at Mizushima works without the assistance of specialist engineers since May 1989.
