Abstract
The present study aims to propose new strategies based on mixed-integer non-linear programming (MINLP) models for the equipment sizing (ES) problem to verify the overall efficiency of the fleet. The developed models estimate the optimal size of trucks concerning the match factor value with two different strategies. The first strategy deals with each loader type, and the second one is applied simultaneously with all types of loaders. The proposed approaches are compared to a simulation strategy to assess the models. Implementing models with a copper mine case study provides a more efficient haul fleet size than the decisions offered by the simulation method. Moreover, the presented strategies provide an effective way to improve equipment performance where the current mine strategy does not adapt well. A key contribution of this research is the development, implementation, and verification of new optimization and simulation methods to address the ES problem in open-pit mines.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
