This review examines the current state-of-the-art in short-term planning for open-pit mines,
with a granularity that spans days, weeks or months, and a horizon of less than one to two …

In-Pit Crushing and Conveying (IPCC) has gained momentum in recent years to replace
trucks partially or fully in large open pit mines because of the shovel-truck system's …

This article presents a novel stochastic optimization model that simultaneously optimizes the
short-term extraction sequence, shovel relocation, scheduling of a heterogeneous hauling …

This work deals with the optimal decisions for materials handling in open-pit mines. The
main purpose of this research is to present a multi-stage approach, which has three …

Manual short-term scheduling in underground mines is a time-consuming and error-prone
activity. In this work, we present a Constraint Programming approach capable of automating …

Short-term open-pit mine production scheduling is a challenging task that must deal with
several objectives, like maximization of the productivity of equipment (plant and mining) …

In a mining supply chain, products from mines are blended at port terminals to ensure that a
set of blending targets (such as grade and qualities) are achieved. The production …

Consumption rates of reagents and consumables are typically accounted for in mine
production scheduling by simple cost adjustment factors per rock type or mining block …

The open-pit production system is a highly dynamic and uncertain environment with
complex interactions between haulage and loading equipment on a shared road network …

A dynamic optimization method was created to address the production schedule issue in an
open-pit coal mine while taking into account the characteristics of the fuzzy structured …
