The paper presents an application of the Theory of Queue to a typical eath-haul operations. Field measurements of arrival and serve times were used to analyze the mathematical model for determination of optimal equipment requirements. Despite the model produces somewhat uder estimates of production, the use of the model in solving operation design problems was. found satisfactory on the practical basis.
