Mine Scheduling Best Practices
Practical Approaches to Production Planning
Apply proven scheduling methods for open pit and underground operations. Balance production targets, equipment utilization, and ore quality.
K-MINE mine scheduling software supporting best practices in production planning with structured workflows for long-term, medium-term, and short-term schedule development. Apply industry best practices with tools for hierarchical scheduling from strategic life-of-mine through tactical period plans. Support consistent scheduling methodology across planning horizons.
Solution Finder Algorithm
Automated scheduling optimization that generates production sequences based on constraints and targets.
All Planning Horizons
From annual strategic plans to monthly and weekly operational schedules in one environment.
Equipment Management
Assign excavators, configure maintenance windows, and define shift patterns for realistic schedules.
Grade Blending
Blend material from multiple mining areas through stockpiles to meet plant feed quality targets.
Constraint Handling
Apply production limits, equipment availability, transport capacity, and quality requirements to every period.
Results Visualization
View schedules as Gantt charts, tonnage graphs, and 3D mining progression for any time interval.
