Mine operations are supported by a short-term production schedule, which defines where and when mining activities are performed. However, deviations can be observed in this short-term production schedule because of several ...

Short-term mine production schedules aim to meet goals previously defined by the long-term mine production schedule. Unfortunately, the complexity and uncertainty of a mine operation cause deviations from the short-term ...

Many papers have been published by the scientific community on the development of techniques that use direct block scheduling (DBS) to solve open pit production scheduling problems, and have compared the results obtained ...

Production planning and scheduling for sawmills poses many challenges. The solution approaches most commonly used to tackle this problem in the forest industry are: simulation, mathematical programming models, and a ...

We present a new scheduling model with the capacity of addressing autonomously reschedules of production plans. The proposed model allows to consider the evolution of an optimized schedule (pseudo optimized) and to carry ...

The problems of production scheduling and sequencing refer to decision making regarding the designation of jobs to available resources and their subsequent order to optimize pre-defined performance measures. From the early ...

Sawmill production scheduling is complex. It involves determining which logs to process taking into account the diameter, length, and grade of each log, on one hand, and the finished products that are needed to fulfill the ...
