Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Analyze a loading curve where initially the load is increased but the loading rate decreases after reaching 85%. How would this affect operational costs?

💡 Hint: Think about the efficiency each loading can provide.

Question 2

A project manager reports that the haul route is poorly maintained. Calculate the potential impact on cycle time for a project with 10 scrapers working. Assume each scraper experiences a slowdown of 20%.

💡 Hint: Quantify the impact based on a standard cycle time.
