With the aim of gathering researchers presenting the ...

Resilient Decision Making in Open Pit Short-term Production Planning in Presence of Geologic Uncertainty

Short-term production plans are the basis for operational mine production schedules. They concentrate on making long-term mine plans operationally feasible. Furthermore, some variables such as ore grade and tonnage govern mine production systems and cause uncertainty in the supply of raw materials to the mills. Due to the quality variation of material, short-term production optimization is an u...
