Abstract
Mining and quarrying are classified as one of the major economic sectors in Malaysia.
This economy sectors are increasing year by year recording to Bank Negara Malaysia.
The result is increasing demand from other industries that need quarry and mining to cope
with the situation to produce materials efficiently. From this study, the production of
tonnage per year can be increased if the haulage are operates efficiently. Other factor also
affect the productivity of the quarry operation such as excavator, haul road and operator
efficiency. Study proven that independent evaluation of every excavator-truck
combination is necessary to identify the optimal combination. Larger excavators may
result in a lower mining cost by reducing the system operating duration. Furthermore, the
optimum cycle time without neglecting safety of the operators and equipment was studied
and estimated. Simulation software such as Talpac software is one of the software that
estimate the cycle time and production per operating hour based on the real case study.
The estimation resulted is to achieve new parameters and optimum cycle time.
