Abstract

Two model approaches to estimation of lifetime of supporting mining machines are described, one of which is based on the theory of reliability and the other-on the principle of cost. While on service, reliability of machines reduces and operating cost grows. These indexes of opposite trends define machine serviceability, and make a framework for decision-making on the expediency of further operation, maintenance or replacement of machines. In terms of bulldozer as one of the most high-usage machines in supporting operations in open pit mines of the Electric Power Industry of Serbia, the application of both model approaches is compared, as well as the estimations and conclusions are made.
