PT. Berau Coal is one of the largest coal companies in Indonesia and has established a good reputation as an exponentially reliable supplier of coal with consistent quality to the Asian market. Sambarata Mine Operation (SMO) is one of the concession areas of PT. Berau Coal. In 2022, the government approved RKAB for PT. Berau Coal's coal production of 33,000,000 tons However, based on production parameters, Berau Coal is only able to accommodate as much as 26,000,000 tons. The purpose of this study is to identify operational strategies that could impact coal production in the Sambarata Mine Operation with the current production parameter plan, analyze the strategy for increasing coal production for current and future conditions, determine the implementation plan of the strategy, and determine the strategy performance indicator. This study's methodology is qualitative, with primary data from stakeholder interviews and secondary data from journal articles and other sources used to investigate business issues. The tools to conduct the analysis are PESTLE analysis, VRIO analysis, value chain analysis, SWOT analysis, TOWS analysis, and winning strategy analysis. According to external research analysis, coal prices will remain high in 2022, the global economic recovery will lead to an increase in coal demand, and external parties will have a significant impact on the coal industry. The internal resources of the Sambarata Mine Operation show that there are huge additional coal reserves to improve coal production with support from engineers and contractors. The findings of this study are, the SO and WO strategies are consistent with the economic situation, which predicts that the global economy's recovery will result in high prices and increased demand. The ST and WT strategies are consistent with the global coal industry condition, in which external parties will have a significant impact on the coal industry, requiring PT. Berau Coal must plan for the worst-case scenario. The strategy will be implemented by prioritizing the strategy with the greatest impact on increasing coal production while also being the easiest to implement. In general, the indicator of the strategy's performance will be measured by the actual production in the Sambarata Mine Operation and refer to the actual global economic condition in 2022 and the coal industry demand, especially in the Chinese market. Because the majority of the data in this study is primary data, there are limitations to the time and location. And for future research, it can be developed and continued in all mine site areas of PT. Berau Coal provides project management in the areas of pit optimization, thin coal optimization, and mineout coal optimization; detailed research related to the outlook or forecast of coal demand in Indonesia and globally, as well as coal prices around the world; and a focus on coal quality in thin coal and mineout coal optimization, which may affect the selling price or overall coal stock quality.
