Scheduling Setup: Ore Destinations

To access this screen:

Display the Optimization task bar and select Optimization >> Scheduler >> Maroma >> Settings >> Ore Destinations.

Define ore destinations for the Maroma scheduler.

This screen automatically displays the destinations defined for your project, with each destination represented as a pair of two table columns defining the minimum and maximum amount of material (in rock mass units) that can be sent to each destination for a given time period.

This screen is also used to constrain a destination, that is, its ability to receive material. For example, if you have defined a stockpile to be used for initial material storage (and subsequent reclaim) at the beginning of the schedule, you use this screen to set its receivable maximum material to zero for all time periods.

All values in this table represent rock mass, with the unit defined by the Mining Rates screen.

To define a destination's minimum or maximum material capacity constraints for a time period:

Configure your schedule periods.
Configure your schedule mining rates.
Configure stockpiles if required.
Display the Ore Destinations screen.
Locate the destination columns for the ore destination to configure.
Enter a Min or Max constraint (or both) for the appropriate time period(s).

Tip: To enter the same tonnage for multiple periods, select one or more contiguous table cells by dragging a selection rectangle to highlight them, then enter a value in the field at the bottom of the table. Clicking Set Selected then updates all cells with that value. You can remove values from a cell by deleting them or selecting multiple cells and clicking Reset Selected.

Note: Entering 0 (zero) is not the same as leaving a cell empty; if a cell is empty, there is no minimum or maximum tonnage constraint, whereas adding zero prevents the destination (typically, the maximum) from receiving material for the time period.
Save your settings.
