Timing Project Manager

The Timing Project Manager (Surface Project Manager or Underground Project Manager) applies to both surface and underground mining for file organization and selection. All files and most settings and configurations used in the mine scheduling are found in the manager. Each topic is described below in detail.

Timing Assignment

The Timing Assignment allows for setting the current sequence. The Assignment is similar to the TIM file in the timing routines. The equipment used and which panels or pits they are mining are shown. The Set Current button controls which one will be loaded and used. Shown here is both a surface mine and an underground mine example.

Panels

This displays the selected underground panels in the mine plan assignment. An example is shown here.

Attribute Groups

Attribute groups are Pit or Panel Attributes assigned to the pits and panels for timing. When timing the pits or panels, there are additional attributes that will be calculated and reported in addition to the Non-Key and Key quantities. If these are defaults that should be applied to all the panels or pits, then they should be entered here. Any quality values, density, or difficulty attributes can be defined here either just as a value, or as a grid file with varying values. The Reserved Attribute Names window displays the reserved words that will be recognized in the timing routines, and how they should be entered in. Selecting Keyword Help brings up the Reserved Attribute Names.

 

The Reserved Attribute Names are defined in a little more detail here:

Reports

Some of the reports generated in the scheduling will appear here for other options to report. These are also accessed in the calendar or after a schedule is run.
