Program for Calculating the Specific Total Labor Intensity of Tractor Maintenance During their One-Season Use

Abstract

Providing agricultural machinery with technical service throughout the entire life cycle is an urgent and at the same time time-consuming task. Automation of calculations of various indicators of maintenance of agricultural machines will reduce the time spent on their determination. Hence, the aim of the work is to create a program for calculating the specific total labor intensity of maintenance of tractors during their one-season use.The paper describes a program for calculating the specific total labor intensity of tractor maintenance during their one-season use. The method for determining the specific total labor intensity has been tested on experimental data on the limits of seasonal operating time and the probability of TO. The calculations were made using the tools of the Microsoft Excel program, the user interface was created in the Visual Basic for Applications programming language.The mathematical support of the program is represented by formulas that allow, based on the data on the seasonal operation of tractors, to calculate the specific total labor intensity of maintenance. In the algorithmic support, the main stages of calculating the indicator under study are formulated. The proposed program can be used to calculate the specific total labor intensity of maintenance not only for tractors, but also for other machines. In addition to practical application in agricultural enterprises, the program can be used in educational institutions when teaching students.
