Research of opportunities to increase potassium ore mining by modeling

Yazev P. A.

The article proposes the factors of the mining machine that can increase in ore production. It is shown that the speed of a self-propelled car can also be considered as such a factor. The calculation of the maximum increase in production with a change in all the proposed factors was made. The total increase in production is calculated for cases with a deterministic and stochastic model. Further the factors with not requirement additional economic costs and technological changes were determined, and a possible increase in production was calculated with only such factors changing.
