openpit.gms : Dynamic open pit mining extraction


This is an example of how to model material extractions that
have sequencing requirements with a multi-period decision process.
A segment has to be extracted completely before we can start on
the next segment. Segments not completely extracted have to be
extracted in the next time period or remain partially extracted in
the last time period. The requirement of full extraction adds
complications to the modeling within the multi-period framework.
