Paradyn's BlendOpt software has become an essential planning tool in today's difficult coal market. BlendOpt shows whether a sales plan is compatible with a mine plan and which side needs to change. BlendOpt plans how ore should be processed, blended, and allocated to different products with the goal of maximizing revenue or profit. Our users quickly and accurately know the maximum profit from the
ir mine plan and the profitability of alternative mine plans. BlendOpt makes planning decisions using mathematical optimisation that discovers plans that are dramatically better than the most sophisticated rules in other planning software. BlendOpt is often used to ensure a processing strategy is value-adding for today’s product prices. BlendOpt also creates short term schedules that ensure today’s logistics decisions don't prevent delivery of tomorrow’s contracts. Technical marketing departments also tell us an important benefit of BlendOpt is that it shows them how to improve what product specs they target to sell.
