A fast and accurate method for forecasting the production that will be achieved by a selected fleet of equipment is fundamental to the successful planning of projects involving large amounts of earth moving. The theory of queues has been used to determine a reliable forecast of loader-truck fleet production. Application of the queuing method is time-consuming, especially when forecasting multiloader-truck fleet production. This paper presents graphical solutions of the queuing model for multiloader-truck fleets.
