Abstract
The paper describes information system for designing efficient technological schemes for open pit mining operations to meet quality requirements of ore fed to the processing plant. Information system’s module ”Blend-ing stockyard” developed by authors allows us to use an optimal scheme of loading and unloading blending stock-yard. Methods of simulation modeling and programming are used to develop the algorithm of the module.
