Abstract
MOL Report Five (2012/2013) compiles 11 papers and presents research on mine planning and production scheduling optimization together with software-related guidelines for mining applications. The volume highlights open-pit production planning, block-cave scheduling, oil sands mine planning and waste management, grade uncertainty, shovel allocation, truck-shovel simulation, and discrete-event simulation model building for mining systems.
The report includes work on long-term open-pit production planning, determining the best height of draw in block-cave production planning, integrated mine planning and composite tailings production, concurrent production scheduling and waste management for oil sands, shovel allocation optimization, truck-shovel operational planning using simulation, and step-by-step software guidelines for open pit design and processing plant modeling. Together, the papers demonstrate MOL's continued emphasis on mine planning and design, simulation modeling of mining and industrial systems, and optimization.
