Mining. Integrated program. Optimization.
The mineral extraction sector is an activity of great source of income, contributing financially and economically, and in Brazil, this contribution is very relevant due to the global scales of mining assets existing on the ground. Large mining companies in Brazil have multiple productive and logistical assets, which need to have integrated planning to optimize theuse of these assets in order to meet customer demands and reduce operating costs. In this context, the problem of integrated short-term programming in mines is defined, in whicht actical-level decisions are defined jointly in integrated operations centers (IOC). This problemis solved using goal programming and four different strategies from the Relax−and−Fixheuristic. In addition, a testing and evaluation methodology, so much for the verification ofthe algorithms and for the validation of the mathematical model, is proposed and the results obtained confirm these evaluations.
