Advances in agricultural machinery management
3. Agriculture machinery management tasks
Performance evaluation
Involve 4 main decision processes
d) Comparison with target
c) Summarizing of operation's performance
b) Compliance with standard check
a) Data processing for documentation
-Regards the final step in Planing & control cycle for a field operation.
Agricultural vehicles routing
Supporting units
-Concept involved the case of field operation which is required to fulfill a request for on-side service
-Unit supporting one or more primary units.
Primary units
3 types of approaches developes
Continuous path is generated that covers the entire area under question
Address process of route planning
Process of spatial configuration planning
-Agricultural machinery unit that perform the main work tasks.
" Determining time,when various operations are to be performed availability of time, labor & machinery supply, job priorities crop requirements are some important factors."
-Concerns the allocation of resources to tasks over given time eriods,the goal is to optimise one/more objective.
2 general types of scheduling problem:
- Sequencing problem
-Pure scheduling problems
Task times planning
- Prerequisite for scheduling.
- The assignment of times durations to activities.
-Part of the system design & concerns both qualitative & quantitative selection of production components related to demand.
5 Main key management task:
Structuring agricultural production management
Evaluation
Execution
Operational
Tactical
Strategic
Capacity planning
Performance Evaluation
Route Planning
Future Requirement
Route planning for agriculture vehicle
-Development of fault detection & diagnosis system for agricultural machines is needed for the real-time re-planning of tasks & automated evaluation.
-Advanced sequential scheduling.
-Localised short time weather forecast.
Task time planning
-Reliability of field operations in stochastic environment is important.
Capacity Planning
- Require improved automatic data connectivity between the different planning level.
-Strategic capacity planning is based on the average norm data covering multiple-year planning horizon.
