Selecting a mining warehouse location

Choosing the optimal location for building a new or renovating an existing mining warehouse is of great importance, especially when it comes to a company that has multiple mines in different locations and needs to build one main mining warehouse. Multi-criteria decision-making finds wide application in solving many problems in mining, such as selecting the location of a main mining warehouse. When multi-criteria decision-making is applied to solve a problem, a larger number of criteria are taken into account that affect the alternatives differently, and the optimal alternative is chosen based on them. In this paper, a methodology for optimal selection of the location of the main mining warehouse will be developed using seven multi-criteria decision-making methods. After the problem has been solved using all seven methods, the resulting rankings will be compared and the optimal location of the main mining warehouse will be selected.
