Abstract

During the last five decades, numerous publications1 have appeared concerned with the application of optimization methods in the mining industry. Most of them focus on long-term production scheduling for underground mining, e.g. [7] as well as open pit mining, cf. [4]. In contrast, this paper addresses the short-term underground mine production scheduling problem that can be defined as specifying the sequence in which blocks should be removed from the mine. The aim is to minimize the makespan subject to a variety of constraints, because the management of the mining company is interested in an efficient utilization of the resources. The constraints relate to the mining extraction sequence, resource capacities and safety-related restrictions.
