Design Enhancement

Design Enhancement is the process of creating scenarios to conduct extensive searches for solutions with similar NPV values but with fewer violations and improved shapes. This process allows finding more efficient and sustainable solutions that meet specific mine constraints and needs. Hence, seeking these kinds of scenarios is important for optimizing mining operations and for reducing risks and costs. 

In Design Enhancement, scenarios are created with more rigorous geometric constraints without compromising the desirable requirements. The goal is  to reduce violations and find better forms for the project. This is possible due to the global nature of optimization and the non-linearity of the problem, enabling the use of stricter requirements for the geometric constraints that could lead to a better  performance of the project.
