Short-team planning for mining operations using robust optimization

该研究计划旨在开发和解决一种新的方法，以便在极短期和短期内对地表和地下采矿作业进行更稳健的规划。作业规划决定了三个月至一年的采矿顺序。它确定了在此期间要开采的材料块以及它们的顺序。这个调度必须考虑到几个操作约束，例如区块之间的优先级（除其他事项外，遵守最大坡度的安全规则），操作活动之间的优先级（钻井，爆破，运输），每天可以处理的矿石数量的限制，铲子和钻头等设备的可用性和位置，通过坡道进入提取区域等。

This research program aims to develop and solve a new approach for more robust planning of surface and underground mining operations in the very short-term and short-term. Operational planning determines the mining sequence for a period of three months to one year. It identifies the blocks of material to be mined out during this period and the order in which they will be. This scheduling must take into account several operational constraints such as the precedence among the blocks (among other things, to comply with safety rules on the maximum degree of slope), the precedence among the operational activities (drilling, blasting, transportation), the limit on the amount of ore that can be treated per day, the availability and the location of equipment such as shovels and drills, the access to extraction areas via ramps, etc.
