Abstract:
Production scheduling optimization techniques have not become common in cement quarry mining. This research sought to present and implement a new optimization model based on Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) along with an efcient solution method to address the long-term cement quarry production scheduling problem. A multi-step method was applied to solve the long-term cement quarry production scheduling problem (LCQPSP) and nding a starting integer feasible solution (SIFS). The implementation of the model and the solution method at a cement quarry shows their ability to generate practical schedules in a reasonable time
