A computer programme in Fortran; to handle  all the possible different parameters in such as operation is presented. The model is designed to cope with labour intensive operation or capital  intensive operation or a combination of both of them. Results of this investigation can be used to predetermine the optimum combination of different units in such an operation for the maximum benefits. A comparison of C.I. and L.I. processes, in respect to costs and time required for the  same magnitude of work, is also investigated into. 0aEarthmoving machineryxMathematical models1 aScott, David, eChairperson1 aTanabe, Tada-Aki, eExamination Committee1 aJearkjirm, Vithool, eExamination Committee2 aCarl Duisberg - Gesellschaft e.V.
