Stochastic Multi-Pit LOM and Production Scheduler for Open-pit Mines

Creates long-term strategic and/or production schedules from nested pits or pit designs;  Optionally uses optimal cut-off grade and production rate policies created by OptimCut.

Supports two stockpiling strategies. stocking marginal materials or stocking high grade ores (useful for the ramp-up period).

Option to schedule with multi-plants and stockpiles, multiple pit regions as a single pit or as multi-pits, each with its own sinking rate accounting for grade variability and uncertainty. 

Interactively creates short- or medium-term bench mining cuts from long-term schedules incorporating precedence constraints; Creates open-pit activities from bench mining cuts; Creates activities from Margin Ranks for gridded seams.

Creates and schedules non-3D activity (logical) tasks.

Creates resources and assigns them to mining activities or tasks.

Creates associative 3D activities and dependencies from various mining objects.

Turns long- (yearly) or medium-term (quarterly or monthly) schedules to short-term (daily or weekly) schedules with user-defined activities;

Mixes and matches long- or medium-term open-pit activities with short-term activities in a single production schedule. 

Creates calendar activity and resource schedules, Gantt Chart, PERT and Network Diagrams;

Manually forces predecessors and lags between activities.

Sets work hours per day and weekend work days.

Level resources and computes schedules (and the resulting NPVs). 

Includes playback, pause, resume, fast forward and backward schedule activities.
