Abstract

The research work aims to solve the production scheduling problem for open pit mining complexes. It establishes a Mixed-Integer Programming (MIP) model that maximises the net present value of future cash flows and satisfies reserve, production capacity, mining block precedence, waste disposal, stockpiling, and pit sequence constraints. The model is validated and implemented with real-world case.
