METHODOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF OPTIMIZATION OF THE TRACTOR FLEET FOR PLANT BREEDING
Abstract
The paper considers the principles of the development of software for planning of the production activity of an enterprise in the plant breeding branch. The mathematical description of the model for optimization of the tractor fleet and creation of a field work schedule is presented. The options for calculation of operation and equipment costs are stated.
