Value Beyond Resource Levelling

Deswik.APEX uses Industrial Mathematics to schedule tasks based on their time-value to find the highest Net Present Value (NPV) for your operation. APEX significantly reduces the planning effort required to produce optimal schedules and can tackle models comprising hundreds of thousands of tasks. Models are data-driven and can consider a range of input data, such as:

Mine Designs
Input mine designs that encapsulate different mining methods, production rates and geological constraints.
Mining Costs and Constraints
Underground costs and constraints by mine or mine area, including for development, production, material movement and backfill.
Processing
Processing plant or mill throughputs, recoveries, product specs and costs.
Operational Constraints
Operational constraints across multiple producing and processing assets.
Financial Modelling
Complex variable financial objectives with constant or time-varying commodity price profiles.
Strategic Programs
CAPEX and OPEX works programs.
