Explore real-world problems in your industry

Dive deep into sample models, built with our Python API.

Mining

Put your planning skills to the test in this example, where you’ll learn how to model and solve a production planning problem that involves optimizing the operations of a group of mines over a five-year period. More information on this type of model can be found in example # 7 of the fifth edition of Modeling Building in Mathematical Programming by H. P. Williams on pages 261 – 262 and 310 – 312. This modeling example is at the intermediate level, where we assume that you know Python and are familiar with the Gurobi Python API. In addition, you should have some knowledge about building mathematical optimization models.
