Abstract

A cabbage combine harvester adapted to technological schemes of harvesting is proposed: bulk shipment of heads in the vehicle bed and shipment of heads on flexible flooring with a subsequent delicate packing in containers in the vehicle bed. The machine harvesting process of headed cabbage under the schemes will be efficient and sustainable with optimal composition of the staff engaged in correcting of the non-marketable cut heads on the combine harvester and rearranging from flexible flooring to containers on the vehicle. To do this, the processes are modeled based on the theory of mass service of operations. Therein, correcting of the cabbage heads is considered as a multichannel queuing system (QS) with refusals, and the process of shipment and stacking of cabbages heads in containers - as a delay queuing system. We determined the optimal number of operating staff involved with the correcting of heads n=2 pers., and stacking of cabbages in containers n=3 people. The results of the calculations are checked and confirmed under production conditions.
