Adding Stockpiles manually

To add and remove stockpiles manually use the green plus and red minus buttons located in the top toolbar.

The names in the Stockpile Name column must follow this convention:

  1. Haul Infinity: "Stockpiles/MyStockpileName".

  2. Tactical Scheduler: "MyStockpileName".

Adding Stockpiles from Haul Infinity

You can add all or missing stockpiles from Haul Infinity. For this, use the Add Missing Items button located in the top toolbar.

Note

Note, that this tool will only find items with a name that begins with “Stockpiles/”.

...

In the Finger Pile Types column, choose whether to build and reclaim stockpiles in discrete fingers.

...

The types of stockpiling depend on the mode in which planning is performed (constraining trucks or optimising by product). See the txplanation in the table below.

Project Mode

Constrain on Trucks 

Optimise Products

Finger Pile Type

Projects in Constrain on Trucks mode may choose to load First In First Out (FIFO) or Last In First Out (LIFO) logic.

In Tactical Scheduler, FIFO and LIFO refer to the reclaim sequence of the piles within the stockpile fingers. 

Note

Projects in Optimise Products mode must always use Weight Averaged piles.

Otherwise, you’ll get an error message preventing you from proceeding further through the setup without a correction.

“In stockpile <(HG1_ROM)>, you must set the stockpile to weight average because the model is set to optimize products.”

To fix, either select “WeightAveraged” finger pile type, or change the project mode to the “Constrain on trucks”, if required to use FIFO or LIFO stockpiling logic.

Description

Example

  • Specify the size of each pile within the parcel finger.

  • A pile cannot be reclaimed until it reaches this size (unless you tick the box in Finish Pile at Period End column).

  • A pile can be reclaimed over multiple periods. 

The example on the right shows a setup for a stockpile which has fingers for all parcels. Each parcel finger is comprised of piles with a capacity equivalent to the value defined under the Finger Pile Size column. Pile number 3 in both the MG finger and the HG2 finger has not yet reached the 20,000t threshold, and therefore can't be reclaimed. If "LIFO" was selected in the Finger Pile Type column, this would cause there to be no reclaiming of HG2 or MG material.  

The same logic applies if a Mutex Subset is chosen as the Parcel Finger Type. In the example below, there is one finger comprising of material type “SP BLEND”. Within that finger, there are multiple piles, each having a capacity equivalent to the value defined under the Finger Pile Size column. If a pile has not met the threshold, it cannot be reclaimed.

Through FIFO and LIFO, it is possible to force a stockpile which comprises of a single material type to be fully built before it can be reclaimed. This can be achieved by setting the Finger Pile Size to the capacity of the stockpile.
