Abstract
In this study, a computer model has been developed for Front-End Loader(FEL) and Rear-Dump Truck(RDT) system in Advanced Basic language using an analytic modelling technique. The model determines the number and hourly capacity of Front-End Loaders according with their bucket capacities, the matched capacity and the number of hauling units and the fleet size required to meet the given production. In addition, the model also provides the using of FEL as hauling equipment in short distances and for elevated sites. Model requires three types of input parameters namely; factors related with production, material characteristics and specifications of both FEL and RDT. For these parameters, adequate help screens in form of tables are presented. As a consequence, a rough analysis can be conducted by selecting the values from the tables without requirement to any prior testing or measurement.
