摘要:Abstract A well-organized fleet management in surface mining is required in order to maximize truck per shovel Match Factors. The most common materials handling in surface mining is by truck and shovel combination. This operation is one of the key factor to reduce the cost of mineral production. This paper presents a complete methodology that can be used to determine the number of trucks required per shovel during striping and the extraction of minerals for Surface mining. The methodology is based on the reduction of the queuing time of the trucks at the loading point. The visual studio was used to develop applications based on DOT.NET platform and some of the basic programming pseudocode are highlighted in this context. This application is quick and easy to understand and will help fasten the calculation of open pit parameters as discussed in the paper as well as a match factor of 1.07 was calculated.
