In our day, one of the most important problems of mine exploitations is that optimization techniques are not benefited at a sufficient level. This situation leads to ineffective usage of time, inefficient working conditions of machinery-equipment and thus to the increase of operational costs at mine sites. Significant parts of mining operations in the world are carried out by open pit mining in lower level with increasing stripping ratio and costs. The unit costs should be reconsidered to reduction, due to competition and economical and technical constraints. Although, the open pits gradually deepen and enlarge in size, the highest cost inputs in mining, the haulage costs also seem to increase. The minimization of transportation cost is substantial since, approximately fifty percent of the total cost. The shovel-truck method is the most common excavation method in open pit mining and the techniques employed in the analysis of this system are generally the simulation and queuing models. In this study; the measurement values that were obtained at the Ki{dotless}srakdere panel of TKI Aegean Lignite Enterprises were compared to the values computed by using queuing model and in this manner, the efficiency of loading-haulage operation was analyzed and suggestions were put forward regarding truck assignment-monitoring technology in order to ensure an efficient machinery-equipment use.
