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 …

There is an everlasting distance and interdependence between mines and end-users as it
involves different types of equipment, infrastructure, and facilities, including excavators …

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

A preconcentration facility is a major operational component that is critical for managing
capacities and improving process plant efficiency in a mining complex. These facilities have …

In the literature of mining optimisation, most classical mine block sequencing or open-pit
mine production scheduling problems are applied at strategic and tactical levels, because …

This article presents a novel algorithm for the generation of multiple short-term production
schedules for an open-pit mine, in which several objectives, of varying priority, characterize …

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 …

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 …

This paper focuses on managing the production and transfer of phosphoric merchantable
ores (MOs) in a pull-flow mode of a supply chain that is currently addressed with limited …

The multiperiod blend scheduling problem has a wide variety of engineering applications
and is typically formulated as a nonconvex mixed-integer nonlinear program (MINLP). Such …
