A new mathematical programming model for production schedule optimisation in underground mining operations

Mixed integer programming (MIP) has been used for optimizing production schedules of mines since the 1960s and is recognized as having significant potential for optimizing production scheduling problems for both surface and underground mining. The major problem in long-term production scheduling for...
