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