Module Learning Guide Production Scheduling and Optimisation Pit optimisation using Whittle 4X Jeff Whittle brought pit optimisation of age with the first fully implemented LerchsGrossmann algorithm. The graph-maximisation approach has a number of advantages over the LP formulation illustrated above. The primary advantage is that the pit optimisation problem can be coded in any language‚ such as Fortran in the case of early Whittle products. As such‚ it is not dependent on LP solution algorithms
