Abstract

Production of high quality milk is possible when using modern technologies and efficient equipment on livestock farms and facilities. The actual low operability level of livestock farming machinery and equipment is associated with a number of reasons. They include the unavailability of the necessary repair and technical facilities and basic repair and technical materials and spare parts for the engineering and technical service (ETS); lack of highly qualified personnel; low-level organization of technical service (maintenance and routine repairs are carried out by different specialists); lack of responsibility and stimulation system of the ETS personnel for the final performance indicators (the operability of machinery and equipment). In order to increase the level of failure-free operation of machinery and equipment used in dairy cattle breeding the authors suggest improving the organization of technical service of machinery and equipment and the performance of engineering and technical service (ETS) on farms. In order to determine the probability of a particular failure on livestock farms the ETS could perform deep technical diagnostics with the use of modern equipment and digital technologies and timely perform scheduled technical inspections and routine repairs. This will significantly increase the service life of machines and reduce the number of equipment downtime due to malfunctions. To stimulate the performance of ETS specialists, the authors propose to use an evaluation indicator of service quality - the technical readiness coefficient. ITS employees could also get additional incentives for ensuring a high level of technical readiness and absence of downtime due to technical reasons. To improve the quality of manufactured products, ETS specialists can be offered bonuses for increasing the production volume and improving the quality of products.
