Epoch Setup Configuration

Once an Epoch setup is created, it needs to be configured so that it has the required information for the client to generate a schedule.

Epoch setup configuration is divided into a number of sections or tabs. Each tab represents an aspect of the setup that the software requires to schedule the mine. The following is a list of tabs that can be configured for an Epoch setup evaluation:

Process Setup

Resources

Add and configure resources (equipment and process flow components).

Calendars

Configure resource parameters by defining mill and stockpile productivity or target accumulation values, and set the required minimum and maximum blending targets for each mill.

Task Sequence

Create and manage task keys, virtual solids, and task lists.

Activities
