Claim Text:
1. A machine-implemented method for simulating a mill reline comprising: collecting mill relining data from a plurality of mine sites and storing same in a database stored in at least one computer; passing the relining data as simulation parameters to a mill relining model stored in the a least one computer or another computer connected thereto, in which at least some of said relining data are variables and are treated as discrete time/frequency distributions; and simulating events for said rail reline based on said relining data, said relining data relating to specific existing site is passed as simulation parameters to said mill relining model, and the simulation is for determining an optimal work flow for carrying out the mill reline at said specific site, wherein at least some of said relining data is data initially provided in video captured recording of actual relines, and analysis of said video is required by an operator for relining or verifying said relining data prior to the relining data being passed as simulation parameters to said simulation model.
