Underground mine schedules seek to determine start dates for activities related to the extraction of ore, often with an objective of maximizing net present value; constraints enforce …
Open pit mine production scheduling (OPMPS) is a decision problem which seeks to maximize net present value (NPV) by determining the extraction time of each block of ore …
Underground mine production scheduling determines when, if ever, activities associated with the extraction of ore should be executed. The accumulation of heat in the mine where …
The open pit mine production scheduling with stockpiling (OPMPS+ S) problem decides when to extract each notional, three-dimensional block of ore and/or waste in a deposit. In …
Mining operations determine a long-term production schedule, often to maximize net present value. For a time horizon of between years and decades, optimization models seek the …
En esta tesis, estudiamos la programación de proyectos con un foco en proyectos de minería. Primero, consideramos un problema determinístico simplificado y su …
We introduce a new integer programming formulation to solve the underground project scheduling problem, which we define as determining the time period in which to complete …
Large-scale optimization modeling is becoming more prevalent in industry practices. As computational hardware and software continue to improve, the problems practitioners …
This dissertation presents results of an experimental study that was done using a novel apparatus from the Halliburton Advanced Perforation Laboratory and a statistical analysis …
