881227 Open-pit production scheduler: algorithm and implementation Gershon, M E Min Engng V30, N8, Aug 1987, P793.796 A new approach to tmprove the mme scheduhng procedure ts presented Following a desired mine slope, a computer program selects the most important blocks to be removed m any area at any trine, taking into account short term and long term conslderatmns It can be used to provide a complete mmmg schedule for a mine over a g~ven ttm¢ period, or used as an mteracUve mine planning tool
