Integrating mining loading and hauling equipment selection and replacement decisions using stochastic linear programming

Equipment selection is a key strategic decision in the design of a material handling system, because an improper one will lead to operational problems and unnecessary investment costs. It involves determining the number and combination of loaders and trucks which will move the material, fulfilling a...
