Haul-Cycle Production and Fleet Match
Truck cycle time, loads per hour, single-truck and matched-fleet production, and the number of trucks that keep the loader working.
Formula and source
cycle = load + haul + dump + return + spot; loads_per_hour = working_min / cycle; production = truck_cap x loads_per_hour; trucks = ceil(cycle / load); fleet = production x trucks.
