2. Configure the Setup

Source file: 2-strategy-setup-configure.htm

Once an Strategy setup is created, it needs to be configured so that it contains the necessary information for schedule generation.

Strategy setup configuration is divided into a number of tabs. Each tab represents an aspect of the setup the software requires to schedule the mine. The following is a list of tabs that need to be configured for an Strategy setup to be ready for server submission:

• Process Setup: Used to add process flow components to a setup.
• Tonnage & Grade: Used to define total tonnage, ore tonnage and define primary and secondary elements.
• Lithology : Used to define lithology types that can be refined by each process in the setup.
• Grade Bins :Used to define grade bins in the setup.
• Targets & Economics: Used to define the economic profile of the setup.
• Fixed Cut-Offs: Used to either manually define the process cut-off grade or allow the software to perform cut-off grade optimisation.
• Constraints: Used to define a set of setup constraints per period.
• Reporting: Used to add reporting items to the schedule report.
• Engine Parameters (optional): Used to define constraints surrounding schedule generation.
