Contributions of the research
Create a novel real-life short term production
scheduling model for cement quarries;
Improve the quality of blending in cement
manufacturing operations (blending is fulfilled not
only at stockpiles but also at quarry benches);
Utilize properly and efficiently limestone resource.
