Open Pit + Underground Mine Scheduling Workflows

  • Multiple alternatives

  • Combination of multiple optional task sources

    • Direct Block Scheduling optimisations

    • Pit optimisations

    • Stope optimisations

    • Underground development networks

  • Material flow network

    • Defines sources and destinations

    • Maps tasks to sources

  • Objectives and constraints to achieve optimum output from all sources

Combined Workflows

  • Workflows described outline preparation of tasks and dependencies for schedule base.

    • Use Schedule | Optimise options to assign (schedule) tasks to periods to achieve objectives subject to constraints.

    • Combine multiple open-pit and underground mine workflows as required with multiple network-connected processing destinations to optimise overall material extraction and delivery of product.

  • For multiple pits/mines, include task attribute (e.g. Pit) to identify pit/mine

    • Press Tasks > Attributes… to map mining block attributes to task attributes

      • Assign unique number to Pit attribute (for example) for each pit/mine
