Scheduling in iron ore open-pit mining
During the last few years, most production-based businesses have been under enormous pressure to improve their top-line growth and bottom-line savings. As a result, many companies are turning to systems and technologies that can help optimise their supply chain activities. In this paper, we discuss a real-world application of scheduling in the mining industry. This is a highly constrained probl...
متن کاملWhole Body Vibration in Open Pit Mining - A short review
The main objective of this study was to synthesize scientific knowledge in order to characterize Whole Body Vibration (WBV) in open pit mining: sources, measurements methodologies and main effects on health. A review based on PRISMA Statement was done. Inclusion criteria were research on WBV in mining, published after 1990 and written in English. Thirty-three studies were included in the review...
متن کاملExposure to whole-body vibration in open-cast mines in the Barents region
Objectives We aimed to measure and evaluate whole-body vibration (WBV) exposure among drivers of mining vehicles in the Barents region. Study design In the period from November 2012 to August 2014, this cross-sectional study was carried out at 3 mines in Finland, Norway and Sweden as part of the MineHealth project. Methods Measurements of WBV were conducted on the surface of the driver's seat d...
متن کاملMusculoskeletal symptoms and exposure to whole-body vibration among open-pit mine workers in the Arctic.
OBJECTIVES This cross-sectional questionnaire study was carried out at 4 open-pit mines in Finland, Norway, Russia and Sweden as part of the MineHealth project. The aim has been to compare the prevalence of musculoskeletal symptoms between drivers of mining vehicles and non-drivers. MATERIAL AND METHODS The mine workers were asked whether they had suffered from any musculoskeletal symptoms du...
متن کاملDetermination of the largest pit with the non-negative net profit in the open pit mines
The determination of the Ultimate Pit Limit (UPL) is the first step in the open pit mine planning process. In this stage that parts of the mineral deposit that are economic to mine are determined. There are several mathematical, heuristic and meta-heuristic algorithms to determine UPL. The optimization criterion in these algorithms is maximization of the total profit whilst satisfying...
