Abstract

Equipment selection is one of the most important stages in open pit design. Equipment selection is a
complex multi person, multi-criteria decision problem. TOPSIS is a multi- attribute decision making
(MADM) technique which is a practical and useful technique for ranking and selection of a number of
externally determined alternatives through distance measure. In this paper, AHP and TOPSIS method were
used to select optimal loading-haulage equipment in Sungun large copper mine of Iran. The result of this
study show significant reduction of time consumption of calculation and good accuracy compared to
existence methods.
