The exploitation of open pit deposits usually takes place through a series of mining phases, commonly known as pushbacks. In open pit metalliferous mining, each pushback considers the extraction of one or more benches simultaneously in a process where the core operational tasks include: drilling, blasting, loading and hauling.
The effective operating time (EOT) of the equipment in an open pit mine determines the capacity of the mine. Clearly, EOT is only a part of the total calendar time, which also includes various down times or non-productive times, caused by different factors. Therefore, it is important to analyze the components of calendar time.
