Net Present Value

Source file: origin-solids-setups-objectives-npv.htm

The net present value (NPV) objective is used to perform value calculations during a schedule optimisation, which generates higher values based on costs and revenue.

Use the NPV tab to assign more complex economic costs to the setup. These include:

  • Discount rate: The value lost per period.

  • Mining cost: The cost to physically remove material.

  • Processing cost: The cost associated with mill usage.

  • Rehabilitation cost: The cost per ton applied to transport material to a waste utility.

  • Rehandle cost: The cost per ton applied to material taken from a stockpile.

  • Reclaim: The cost per ton to transport material from a stockpile to a mill.

  • Recovery: The percentage for recovering material from a stockpile.

Use the Calendar > NPV subtab to assign basic NPV costs and value on a per period basis.
