In this section you'll find all the information required to get the results you want when running a Schedule.

Calendar Inputs

Save yourself some stress and update the Calendar values before scheduling. Invalid inputs lead to invalid schedules.

See TS. Calendar Inputs.

Calendar Dashboard

Make navigating the Calendar easier by localising all important information in one spot.

See TS. Dashboards.

Use the dashboards to isolate critical Calendar inputs and outputs

Chrono Reports

Identify the core deliverables that are your responsibility as a mine planner, and lay them out in charts.

  • Crusher feed tonnes, grade, blend.

  • Ex-pit movement.

  • Digger utilisation.

  • Truck utilisation.

  • Stockpile size limits.

See TS. Chrono Reports.

Use the charts to visually identify scheduling errors

Review and Improve

A draft schedule can be transformed into a final schedule by applying cumulative small improvements.

As a rough guideline, the scheduling process is:

  1. Run the schedule.

  2. Review the charts.

  3. Identify issues.

  4. Resolve the most pressing issue.

  5. Return to step 1.

Possible issues
