Abstract

Quarry sites are complex systems that involve several heavy machines, equipment, people, and management systems working together in an unstructured off-road environment. Gaining accurate insights about these sites requires integrating models at various levels to enable a holistic view of the systems and processes involved and facilitate effective planning, coordination, and decision-making. In this paper, a multi-level modeling framework is proposed to provide an overall structure for the modeling of quarry sites. The motivation for this framework is drawn from insights gained through a large manufacturing company in the heavy-duty vehicle industry, providing a practical perspective on the modeling approach. The framework integrates models of different operations on site enabling effective simulation and optimization and leading to a better understanding of the workflow on site and pointing out any possible bottlenecks. The feasibility of the proposed framework was validated through workshops that included a panel of experts in different areas of the field of off-road machinery production company.
