Customer Spec

Targets applied per 10-car sublot (not just train average).

Operational Rules (Assumed)

Moisture enforced as a soft cap. Ash and sulfur must remain below spec with a small safety margin.

Max draw per pile per sublot derived from belt scale capacity. Minimum ratios prevent single-pile overuse.

Quick lab bias is modeled as a rolling offset (EMA). New actuals update the next recommendation.

Recommended Blend

Cost-optimized while staying in spec with the current bias adjustment.
