The Constraint Was Never the Number of Trucks. It Was Where The Material Sat.
A dedicated stockpile on each production level costs development metres at exactly the stage when every metre is under scrutiny. It sounds sensible, and sensible without a number attached is a spend that gets deferred.
This simulation study using idoba.sim shows how one owner-operator sized a capital decision against their own network and fleet.
"If you assume the loader is busy, the model agrees the loader is busy. That is not an answer. It is an echo."
Why hand-calculated cycle times struggle to size this decision, and the results agent-based simulation can uncover.
The guide is for mining people making decisions about the mine.

ABOUT IDOBA
The Experience of Operators, Encoded in Software.
We build purpose-built industrial AI and simulation products for mining and metals. We combine operational experience with site data and specialist models to bring critical operating decisions forward, giving site teams more time to investigate, compare, and act while they can still change the outcome.
