 Outline
• Integrated planning and workflow
• Equipment scheduling
• Stockpile handling
• Underground planning
• Schedule analysis tools
• More constraints
• Speed up
• Reporting and charting
• Multi-period scheduling – looking ahead
 Integrated Planning Tool
• STP, MTP and LTP
• Open pit and Underground
• 3DBM and stratigraphic/GSM
• Cuts (blocks, regular cuts, bench reserves)
• Partial (percentage) cuts mining
• 64-bit
• CPLEX optimization engine
• Gantt (in dev.)
 Integrated Planning Spiral
• Integrate MSSO with
– MSHaulage
– MSIP-MM
– MSEP
– MSSP
– MSAtlas
• Save schedule to
– MSPD
– Block model
 Interoperability
• MineSight 3D viewer integration
– Visualization
– Animation
– Manual/interactive scheduling
 Streamlined Workflow
• Canvas integration
– Drag and drop
– Material flow
• Property dialog
– Capacity
– Period availability
– Filled tonnage
• New GUI
– Dockable panels
 Equipment Scheduling
• Equipment scheduling options
– Schedule without equipment
– Schedule then assign equipment
– Schedule with equipment
• Cycle time data
– Default cycle time (phase/bench/destination)
– Import from MineSight Haulage (cut/destination)
• Truck/Shovel hour constraints, and reports
 Stockpile Handling
• Reclaim methods
– FIFO
– LIFO
– Average
– Any
• Opening balances
– Materials
– Tonnage
– Volume
– Grades
 Underground Planning

• Animation
• Gantt
 More Constraints (1/2)
• Multi-phase dependency
• Phase lead/lag
• Number of partial (open) benches
• Volume constraints
• Destination tonnage & volume capacity

• Haulage route availability
• Stockpile closing balance
 More Constraints (2/2)
• Partial (Percentage) cut mining
– Splitting tonnage tolerance
– Minimum leftover tonnage
– Maximum partial cuts each period
– Must complete partial cuts from pervious periods
– Must fully mine preceding cuts on upper level
 Speed Up
• Loading cuts
