Reducing Production and Transportation Costs for the Transportation of Iron Ore Raw Materials from Mining and Processing Plants on the Basis of the Use of an Integer Model

The article considers an integer model for transporting iron ore raw materials with minimal transportation costs. An integer production and transport model allows you to determine the volume of production with the assignment of sites to storage points and distribute the volume of transportation along routes. It is established that the solution of the transport problem allows you to determine the volume of transportation; assign sections to temporary storage points, choose a rational transportation route, minimize transportation costs, assign the required number of dump trucks to excavators, etc.
