Planning and scheduling by mine equipment and mine simulation programs for combined cross pit spreader (XPS) and dragline operations
Abstract
Mine planning and operation management aim at obtaining maximum utilisation and output for individual machines and the mining system in its entirety. These objects can effectively be suppoted by a planning and scheduling program based on equipment simulation to be run on PC’s, The XPS-PC program has a modular structure with subprograms for BWE’(s) and Dragline simulation, mine geometry and simulation of mining.
