Praktyczne zastosowania technik podejmowania decyzji do wyboru odpowiednich technologii eksploatacji w Iranie

Mining method selection for an explored ore-body is the critical and problematic issues in mining engineering. Selection of an unsuitable method with regards to deposit characteristics may make exploitation of the ore-body troublesome and sometimes impossible or less economic. In the past, selection of extraction method was based primarily on operating experience at similar type mine and on methods already in use in the districts of the deposit. Recently application of decision theory has been paid attention for different selection problems. Decision-making methods are not using customarily in mining engineering but they are techniques can provide solutions to the problems involving conflicting and multiple criteria as mining method selection problems. This study presents of different decision making methods in complex environment of mining activities for optimal and efficient production. The focus of this article is on inspection of the suitable mining method selection and presentation of procedure, and is based on the decision theory. This paper is divided into two sections. The first section provides an overview of the mining method selection problems and decision making theory. The second section introduces an application of the Multiple Attribute Decision Making (MADM) for mining method selection accompanied by practical illustrations.Wybór metody eksploatacji dla udokumentowanego złoża rudy jest podstawowym i bardzo trudnym zagadnieniem w inżynierii górniczej. Wybór niewłaściwej technologii eksploatacji dla złoża o określonej charakterystyce może spowodować wiele kłopotów, a w rezultacie może doprowadzić do braku możliwości wybrania tego złoża lub uczynić eksploatację mniej opłacalną. W przeszłości wybór metody eksploatacji wykonywany był na podstawie doświadczeń ruchowych w kopalniach podobnego typu, a opierano się na metodach już wykorzystywanych w innych częściach tego złoża. Ostatnio zwrócono uwagę na możliwość wykorzystania metod podejmowania decyzji do rozwiązywania problemów związanych z takim wyborem. Takie metody podejmowania decyzji nie są zwykle używane w górnictwie, ale są to techniki, które mogą dać rozwiązanie w zagadnieniach, w których występuje wiele wzajemnie sprzecznych kryteriów tak jak to ma miejsce w przypadku wyboru technologii eksploatacji. Artykuł prezentuje różne metody podejmowania decyzji dla osiągnięcia optymalnej i wydajnej produkcji w złożonych uwarunkowaniach związanych z działalnością górniczą. Celem tego artykułu jest, w oparciu o teorie podejmowania decyzji, wybór odpowiedniej metody eksploatacji oraz opis tej procedury. Artykuł podzielono na dwie części. Pierwsza część daje przegląd problemów związanych z wyborem metody eksploatacji oraz teorię podejmowania decyzji. Druga część omawia wielokryterialną analizę decyzyjną zastosowaną do wyboru metody eksploatacji wraz z przykładami

FMMSIC: a hybrid fuzzy based decision support system for MMS (in order to estimate interrelationships between criteria)

One of the main tasks in exploitation of ore-body is to select a suitable mining method. In mining method selection (MMS) problems, a decision procedure has to choose the best exploitation method that satisfies the evaluation criteria. It is generally hard to find a mining method that meets all the criteria simultaneously, therefore a good compromise solution is preferred as the final selection. Furthermore, the MMS problem is an inherently uncertain activity. To deal with the uncertainty, this paper presents an hybrid decision support system based on the fuzzy multi attribute decision making, named the fuzzy mining method selection with interrelation criteria (FMMSIC). FMMSIC models the relative weights of criteria by combining the fuzzy analytic network process and fuzzy entropy, and discusses using these hybrid techniques to determine the overall weights. Subsequently, the technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution method was modified by various normalization norms according to the MMS problem condition. Finally, to illustrate how the FMMSIC is used for the MMS problems, an empirical study of a real case is conducted. It shows by means of an application that the FMMSIC is well suited as a decision support system for the MMS.
