Step 5: Fine Tuning

Go to the Viewer tab and step through your schedule.

The result should look like the following animation:

Note:  The colours applied to the activities shown in the viewer animation correspond to these assigned to each activity in the Activities > Activity Sequence subtab.

See Activity Sequence for more information.

Upon closer examination, blast groups 2 and 4 appear to have haulage issues over the blasted material. The arrows marked in Figure 1 below show the path a truck must take. In the current schedule state, the trucks would have to go through unmined solids.

We can fix this by reordering Ex1 task list so the groups are mined from right to left, as follows:

1. Step through your schedule up to the 28th of September.

   

2. Switch to the Task Lists tab and hover over the first solid that is mined in the viewer, as shown in the image below.

   Note:   Do not select the solid.

   The task will be highlighted in the task list.

   

   We will need to move the three solids to the right before this task in the list.

3. Hover over each of the three solids on the right of the blast group to see where they are in the task list. Select them all (with Ctrl+click), then drag them to appear before the task identified in the previous step.

   

   

4. Drag the solids in Group 4 to the bottom of the task list, as shown in the image below.

   Tip:  To make identification and ordering easier, use the X value for each task.
