Original Abstract Submitted

Systems, methods, and computer-program products can perform task-based management of a mine site. The systems, methods, and computer-program products can generate one of a specialized management operator interface or a specialized active work operator interface, for selective display on a display device; output, on the display device, the one of the specialized management operator interface or the specialized active work operator interface; receive an input to the one of the specialized management operator interface or the specialized active work operator interface; and responsive to the input to the one the specialized management operator interface or the specialized active work operator interface, dynamically vary visual indicia on the one the specialized management operator interface or the specialized active work operator interface based on processing of the input by one of a forecasting engine or an active work engine, respectively.
