Conclusions
A logistics simulation was carried out to
capture the possible scenarios of in-bound raw material traffic in light of the 2.4MT
expansion plan. Results from the simulation show that the number of tracks, track hoppers
/ tipplers and stockyard capacities are sufficient to handle the increased volumes of
in-coming rakes. It also suggests that the number of locos can be rationalised without any
adverse affect on the rake circuit times.
