Performance analysis of the process of combine harvesting of grain crops

Abstract

The effectiveness of combine harvesting processes is one of the most important indicators of planting enterprises, as it largely determines the efficiency of the entire organization. One of the problems in assessing the effectiveness of combine harvesters is the determination of the planned performance of machines with rated productivity. The paper considers approaches to determining the planned and actual performance of the processes of combine harvesting of grain crops. The factors affecting the decrease in the performance of combines have been studied. The analysis of data on the wheat harvesting process in local organizations of the South of Russia during 2014-2019 has been carried out. The results of calculating the planned and actual performance of wheat harvesting processes in these farms are presented.
