An Imperialist Competitive Algorithm for Solving the Production Scheduling Problem in Open Pit Mine

Production scheduling (planning) of an open-pit mine is the procedure during which the rock blocks are assigned to different production periods in a way that the highest net present value of the project achieved subject to operational constraints. The paper introduces a new and computationally less...
