Examining the drivers of changes in stripping ratio in open pit coal mining: a system dynamics model to optimize the coal discrepancy

Abstract Stripping ratio (SR), as one of the critical parameters in coal mining, refers to the ratio of overburden (OB) or waste removed to obtain a ton of coal. It influences the coal discrepancy, or the difference between actual and planned coal mined production. This study aims to explore the con...
