Abstract
This presentation focuses on the development of a tool for robust short-term and real-tie scheduling of mining. This tool first seeks to construct schedules for work shifts that take into account the operational constraints of underground mines. Given that the mining environment is very dynamic and generates a lot of variability over the duration of the different mining operations (drilling, ore transport, bolting, etc.), the models developed seek to produce robust schedules that will take this variability into account to avoid constantly rebuilding new schedules. These models are called proactive. Since mining is a highly dynamic environment, the solution proposed by proactive models may eventually deviate from reality and it is essential to modify this schedule. We then move to a reactive model or real-time scheduling. Tests carried out with different models demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the schedules produced by this new approach.
