Abstract
This paper presents the machine learning (ML) method, a novel approach that could be a profitable idea to optimize fleet management and achieve a sufficient output to reduce operational costs, by diminishing trucks’ queuing time and excavators’ idle time, based on the best selection of the fleet. The performance of this method was studied at the Zenouz kaolin mine to optimize the type of loader and the number of trucks used to supply the processing plant’s ore demands. Accordingly, five years’ data, such as dates, weather conditions, number of trucks, routes, loader types, and daily hauled ore, were collected, adapted, and processed to train the following five practical algorithms: linear regression, decision tree, K-nearest neighbour, random forest, and gradient boosting algorithm. By comparing the results of the algorithms, the gradient boosting decision tree algorithm was determined to be the best fit and predicted test data values with 85% accuracy. Subsequently, 11,322 data were imported into the machine as various scenarios and daily hauled minerals as output results were predicted for each working zone individually. Finally, the data which had the minimum variation from the selected required scheduled value, and its related data concerning loader type and the number of demanded trucks, were indicated for each day of the working year.

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
