A cost prediction model for machine operation in multi-field production systems

摘要: Capacity planning in agricultural field operations needs to give consideration the operational system design which involves selection and dimensioning of production components, such as machinery equipment. models currently onstream are generally based on average norm data not specific farm may vary from year year. In this paper a model is presented for predicting cost in-field transport multiple-field multiple-crop systems. A case study real order demonstrate model’s functionalities its sensitivity parameters known be somewhat imprecise. It was shown that proposed can provide operation predictions complex cropping systems where labor shared between various individually formulated each individual crop. By so doing, used decision support at strategic level management specifically mid-term process terms labor/machinery crop conforming criterion profitability.
