Instrutor
Hooman Askari is a professor of mining engineering in the School of Mining and
Petroleum Engineering at the University of Alberta, Canada. He teaches and conducts
research into mine planning & design and simulation of mining systems. Hooman is a
registered professional mining engineer with 18 years of operational, consulting,
research, and teaching experience in the area of open pit mine planning and design.
He has a strong track record of success in leading the Mining Optimization
Laboratory (MOL) research team sponsored by BHP Billiton, Newmont, Suncor, Shell,
Maptek, and Mintec into development, testing, and delivering mine planning
optimization prototype software and mine simulation models to major mining
companies. He consults as the Principal Engineer on long-term to short-term open pit
production scheduling optimization and simulation of mining-systems through
OptiTek Mining Consulting Ltd.
Mining Optimization Laboratory (MOL)
The Mining Optimization Laboratory (MOL) is an industrial research consortium
sponsored by mining companies. The MOL research focuses on two major themes:
MOL research focuses on using operations research and advanced analytical methods
such as mathematical modeling, optimization, discrete event/continuous simulation,
and intelligent agents to arrive optimal or near-optimal solutions to complex, largescale mine planning/operations decision-making problems.

Contedo Programtico
Simulation Software: Arena
Fundamentals of Discrete Event Simulation (DES) modeling and its industrial
applications to mining and processing systems are presented. Theoretical and
statistical aspects of simulation, including input and output analysis, experimental
design, and variance reduction techniques are presented. Arena Simulation
Environment (by Rockwell Automation) is used as the primary modeling simulation
tool for explaining simulation concepts. The course focuses (two days) on modeling
detail truck-shovel simulation models that uses the historical dispatching data, road
profiles, and short-term mine plans as input into the simulation model. The
simulation models need to be calibrated, and verified to link the short-term mining
schedules to the operational plans in presence of uncertainties of cycle times,
scheduled and unscheduled down times, shift changes, etc. The rest of the course
(two days) will focus on combined continuous and discrete-event simulation of
processing systems. Size classifications including sieves and hydrocyclones;
comminution operations including crushing machines, grinding, and semi-autogenous
mills; solid-liquid separation including thickeners and filtration; and also gravity and
magnetic separation modeling will be covered by examples. The course is intended
for mining and processing engineering disciplines and participants who would like to
use simulation to design and optimize real-world mining systems. On completion of
this course, successful attendees will have an in depth understanding of principles
and methodologies, of discrete event simulation. Also, they will be able to use Arena
Simulation Software (Rockwell Automation) as the simulation modeling tool for
simulating and optimizing real world systems. A series of labs using Arena Simulation
Software (Rockwell Automation) are undertaken to model and optimize real world
systems. Students undertake a complete simulation modeling/analysis project.
Outcomes of the course include:
In the first two-days:
A review on probability and statistics and fundamental simulation concepts.
Truck-shovel simulation modeling using resources, queues, and basic animation
to calculate fleet productivity.
Truck-shovel simulation modeling using resources, queues, and basic animation
to calculate fleet productivity.
Mixed fleet truck-shovel simulation modeling using resources sets and
maintenance schedules.
Introduction of resource failures with defining probability distribution functions
for mean time between failures and mean time to repairs of trucks, shovels,
and crushers.
Truck dispatching using station-route and assessing the reliability of the
system.
The rest of the course - two days - will focus on combined continuous and
discrete event simulation of processing systems.
Size classifications including sieves and hydrocyclones,
