The research was carried out with the aim of improving the technology of harvesting cereal crops for the production of competitive products. The work was carried out in 2018-2022 in Krasnodar region. We optimized the parameters of multifunctional units and tested them in relation to harvesting conditions in Kuban. Comparison of machines, complexes, technologies and systems was carried out using a comprehensive assessment method using the Harrington function. The proposed technology with multifunctional units, compared to the basic one, allows reducing labor costs by 1.25 times, operating costs and metal consumption by 1.2 times, and increasing labor productivity by almost 2 times. When analyzing the dependence of the cost of grain yield losses on the duration of harvesting, direct biological yield losses and indirect losses associated with injury to grain by the working parts of harvesting machines were taken into account. A multifunctional unit is proposed, designed for harvesting grain crops with simultaneous pressing of straw. It is based on the use of the serial power unit “Polesie” UES-2-280A, the mounted grain harvester KZR-10 and the straw baler PRP-1.6. A production test has proven the advantage of a rotary threshing apparatus compared to a classic one. The use of combine harvesters with rotary threshing and separating devices reduces grain crushing, compared to threshing machines, by 10 times, microdamage to grain - by 6...8%. Using the three-factor experiment planning method, the optimal duration for harvesting grain crops using the proposed technology with a multifunctional unit was established, which, with a grain yield of 6.8 t/ha, is 5 working days, the working width of the combine header is 5.4 m. Using the proposed unit with one of the trailed machines (straw baler, direct seed seeder, discor or other tillage machine) is quite effective.

Calculation of harrington function (desirability function) values under interval determination of its arguments

Purpose of work. Development of proposals for desirability function calculation by interval arithmetic method. Obtained results. A connection was shown between multiple-criterial (vector) optimization problem and calculation of Harrington function (desirability function) values. Generalized desirability function was shown to be treated as a multiplicative convolution of partial desirabilities. Using golden section properties, a connection was discerned between hierarchy analysis methods and calculation of desirability function values. In this case the distribution of probable desirability function values among intervals determined in accordance with golden mean rule does coincide with values obtained by expert method. Application of golden proportion enables increasing the number of intervals; thus, it may prove convenient in improvement of Harrington function sensitivity. Conclusions. For partial desirability function in its explicit form such geometric characteristics were determined as values of tangent, curvature of curve and center of curvature coordinates. For a necessary averaged desirability system obtaining process control, such characteristics were determined in general and explicit form as partial desirability elasticity, generalized desirability elasticity relative to partial desirability, generalized desirability elasticity relative to a variable that has physical sense and respective dimension depending on particular subject area and affects partial desirability value. To determine the boundary value of one partial desirability being substituted for another partial desirability, the rate of substitution function and boundary rate of substitution elasticity function were established. Due to errors emerging in determination of desirability function values application of interval analysis methods was proposed. Application of interval numbers as presented in hyperbolic form was shown for calcutaion of partial and generalized desirability, A partial power series sum was determined relative to a variable presented in hyperbolic form. Suggestions. The method of calculation of Harrington function (desirability function) values at interval determination of arguments was shown to be eventually used in development of specifications and preliminary design of complicated engineering аnd organizational systems.

Selecting the best planter option based on Harrington function

The assessment of modern grain seeders was carried out according to five indicators: price of the seeder, metal consumption and energy intensity of sowing, specific productivity and technical level of the seeder. Weight coefficients were introduced for each indicator. A method for making an objective decision for choosing the best seeder option from alternative options based on the Harrington function is substantiated. The desirability function has been modernized into a graphical form using rating scales. Any intermediate value of the estimated indicator was projected onto a segment of a straight line connecting the points of intersection of the lines of the minimum and maximum values of the estimated indicators and the extreme lines of the same indicators, projected from the Harrington desirability function to a dimensionless scale. Dependences of the indicators of the desirability function for all evaluated indicators are determined. A generalized indicator of a comprehensive assessment is formulated for making a final decision. As a result, it was found that the ALFA-6 seeder has the best performance. Seeders SZT-3.6 and SZP-3 received the worst rating. Their overall score is 42.9% lower than the ALFA-6 planter. The developed assessment methodology made it possible to outline ways for further improvement.

Justification of the choice of the optimal design of equipment for electrolyte-plasma polishing

The article proposes a method of complex comparison of equipment for electrolyte-plasma polishing of surfaces. The Harrington function is used to evaluate the equipment. The values of the function are limited by the numerical interval 0.2 - 0.8. The parameters of the equipment are selected as the evaluation parameters: maximum polishing area per cycle, productivity, power, area occupied by the installation, cost. As a result of a comprehensive assessment, the best type of equipment for electrolyte-plasma polishing, which provides a resource-saving and energy-saving mode of operation was selected. A computer program has been developed with the help of which a generalized evaluation parameter has been calculated and a comparative analysis of the equipment has been performed.

Application of the Harrington function in substantiating the choice of the best equipment for plasma processing of materials

The possibility of using the Harrington desirability function in choosing the most suitable equipment for plasma processing of materials is confirmed. The search for the optimal variant was carried out by calculating the maximum value of the generalized index of desirability. Four types of equipment for plasma cutting of metal are considered. A comparative analysis was carried out on the following indicators: the cost of equipment and technological cutting speeds for low carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. An example of choosing the best equipment from an alternative series is considered. A system of four scales of partial evaluation indicators was used. Graphical and analytical evaluation methods are presented. The value of the generalized desirability index equal to 0.65 corresponds to the optimal variant of equipment for plasma cutting of metal.

Practical approach to assessment of effectiveness and efficiency of management systems for occupational safety

The main purpose of the research was development of a method-based approach and software for the assessment of the effectiveness and efficiency of OSH management system in the company through a predictive model for the assessment of the correlation of an accident risk and generalized desirability indicator based on Harrington function. OSH management system status in a company is proposed to be assessed using mathematical methods for the processing of individual indicators and calculating generalized desirability indicator based on Harrington "desirability curve". It is proposed to use an expert approach in order to determine individual indicators and assess their weight. It is suggested that such mathematical values as additive synthesizing function, weighted arithmetic mean, multiplicative synthesizing function, weighted geometric mean, should be calculated in "E2" software. A methodology approach was developed involving mathematical processing of data in various source formats (shares, per cent, numbers, and words) so that Harrington "desirability curve" can be used to assess OSH management system effectiveness and efficacy in the company. A C# software code was developed to import and export Microsoft Excel data which significantly simplifies software use. A predictive model was developed showing the correlation between a professional accident risk value and generalized desirability indicator.

Оценка результативности системы управления охраной труда в отраслях промышленности

An analytical model for a comprehensive assessment of the state of the occupational health and safety management system in the industrial sectors is proposed. International and domestic experience of the scientific research is analyzed. It is determined that the occupational risk assessments are divided into a priori and a posteriori components. Under the assessment of a priori risk is understood its prognostic assessment. A posteriori risk assessment involves the analysis of a set of interrelated indicators of the health status of employees with their subsequent comparison in dynamics or with any other indicators. The model was developed using the Bayesian approach, which takes as a basis the a priori value of a complex indicator for assessing the state of the occupational health and safety management system and determines the changes in this indicator. The final assessment of the efficiency of the occupational health and safety management system is built using the intervals of the Harrington function. Numerical calculations were made to assess the efficiency of the occupational health and safety management system for a number of industries for the period 2015–2020. Calculations showed that a significant improvement in the state of the occupational health and safety management system occurred in the light, automotive, oil and gas and woodworking industries (comprehensive assessment indicator at the level of 0.7). The state of the occupational health and safety management system in the coal mining and petrochemical industries has practically not changed (the indicator of a comprehensive assessment remained at the level of 0.5). Proposed approach can be applied to assess the efficiency of the occupational health and safety management system in other areas of economic activity, as well as in the systems of ensuring safety.

Динамическая модель оценки состояния системы управления охраной труда: применение байесовского подхода

The article is a continuation of the analytical approach to assessment of condition of the occupational health and management system. The risk-oriented approach supposes decision-making and taking measures to ensure labor protection according to the risk value. Such approach is based on the constant analysis of hazards and current risks and regular adjustment of the occupational health and management system. The model uses the Bayesian approach which, on the basis of a priori value of a composite indicator of assessment of occupational health and management system, determines the potential changes of this indicator according to such factors as the hazard level of units of occupational health and management system and complexity of fires or accidents. The value of composite indicator of assessment of the condition of occupational health and management system is found via the method of maximization of a posteriori density of probability. The level of hazard of units of occupational health and management is assessed for groups of units homogenous by their economic activities and functional hazard classes, by the values of injury (fatality) risk for employees. The complexity of fires (accidents) is assessed in accordance with the quantity of equipment units engaged in fire extinguishing or accident elimination. In order to assess the efficiency of occupational health and management system, the Harrington function’s intervals are applied. The boundary values of the function complying with a good, satisfactory and poor efficiency of occupational health and management system are determined. As an example, calculation of a composite indicator of assessment of condition of the occupational health and management system for a fire department is considered. It is demonstrated that considered complexity of fires and the hazard level of fire units may significantly change the assessment of efficiency of the occupational health and management system. The general scheme of adjustment of the assessment of efficiency of occupational health and management system is provided.

Feasibility study for choosing the best combine harvester design

A modernized Harrington function with three zones of evaluation indicators is proposed: excellent-good-satisfactory for making a decision on choosing the best design of a combine harvester. Harrington’s desirability function is used only in the 0.2 … 0.8 section, in the interval of which the system of j-th estimated indicators with its own units of measurement (operating costs, grain losses, labor costs, energy consumption of the combine harvesting process) is located. The developed desirability scales were used based on economic tests of combines. Dependences are obtained for converting the values of experimental estimated indicators to a dimensionless scale limited by the range of the desirability function 0.2 … 0.8. By the method of paired comparison of the estimated indicators, their rank place, the weight coefficient of each indicator used in calculating the generalized criterion for the comprehensive assessment of each combine harvester was determined. The maximum value of the criterion determines the best design of the combine from the alternative. The values of the criteria for the integrated assessment of combines with and without weight factors (mean geometric value of the criteria) have been analysed. When using the latter, a more significant difference was obtained between the compared designs of combines. Such a comparison can be applied to carry out comparative tests of combines under the same conditions (yield, moisture, weediness, etc.). The purpose of the work is to substantiate, using the example of a group of compared grain harvesters, the best design option using the proposed system of evaluation indicators and generalized criteria for complex evaluation.

Analytical approach to the assessment of the state of the occupational health and safety management system is considered based on the constant analysis of hazards and current risks, regular adjustment of the occupational health and safety management system depending on the decrease or increase in the assessment of its state. In the presented model the Bayesian approach is used, in which on the basis of the apriori value of the complex indicator for assessing the state of the occupational health and safety management system the possible a posteriori change of this indicator is determined depending on the factors affecting its state (availability of the organizational documentation, observance of the labor rights of the employees, organization of training and instructing on occupational safety, accounting of incidents, assessment of the risk of injury and death of the personnel, etc.). To obtain the posteriori assessment, only those indicators characterizing the state of the occupational health and safety management system are considered, the values of which have changed in the current year compared to the previous one. The method of maximizing the posterior probability density is used. The effectiveness of the occupational health and safety management system is assessed using the intervals of the Harrington function. The boundary values of this function corresponding to a good, satisfactory, and poor assessment of the effectiveness of the occupational health and safety management system are determined. As an example, the calculation of the posteriori assessment of a complex indicator of the state of the occupational health and safety management for a fire protection unit is considered. It is shown, that as a result of implementing measures for labor protection the complex indicator for assessing the state of the occupational health and safety management system increases, the assessment of its effectiveness improves.

Development of scientific and methodological approach to quantitative and qualitative assessment of intellectual property management in industrial enterprises

The competitiveness, market value and income of an enterprise depend on the level of intellectual property management. Therefore, the aim of research is to develop, substantiate and test a scientific and methodological approach to a quantitative and qualitative assessment of the management of intellectual property of industrial enterprises. The originality of the proposed approach is that on the basis of the concept of "management of intellectual property" a procedure for current management has been developed, the main stage of which is a quantitative and qualitative assessment. The assessment is based on the structural and logical model, which is built according to two criteria. The criteria make it possible to determine the current state of the use of intellectual property (intangible assets) – a quantitative assessment, and the prospect of further use (intellectual potential) – a qualitative assessment. A quantitative assessment involves the calculation of indicators characterizing the state of assets, the dynamics of the impact on the market value of the enterprise, the profitability of production, which is proposed to be determined through the net cash flow from operating activities. A qualitative assessment is carried out in terms of components (information and investment, organizational and legal, economic, personnel and motivation), tools and relative indicators that characterize the intellectual potential of an industrial enterprise. The assessment is carried out using a general integral indicator, which is of practical importance, since it shows the existing level of intellectual property management and directions for improvement in the future. The approbation of the scientific and methodological approach was carried out on the example of three Ukrainian coke-chemical enterprises (CJSC Avdeevka Coke Plant, CJSC Zaporozhkoks, CJSC Yuzhkoks) of the American association SUNCOKE ENERGY, INC and the Polish association J.S.W. S.A. Group. Empirical studies for the period from 2015 to 2019 made it possible to build a scale for assessing the level of intellectual property management according to the Harrington function

Influence of agricultural machinery on the potential realization of winter hard wheat yield

The article is devoted to the problem of choosing agricultural machinery, as productive potential of plants depends on its effective operation. The correct choice of parameters and modes of agricultural machinery is the fundamental paradigm for solving this problem. Grain yield is made up of the integration of agricultural machinery and its genetic potential. It is the optimization of the parameters that contributes to the formation of a full-fledged desired, stable yield. In the field, productivity is influenced by many difficult-to-control factors (weather conditions, agrotechnical characteristics of the equipment, seed resistance, etc.). To optimize the process of increasing the productivity of grain, the selection of seed material, its disinfection, as well as sowing using innovative technologies are required. The multi-criterion task of choosing the optimal modes of machinery and the preliminary selection and analysis of high-yielding grain is facilitated by the Harrington function. The object of the research is seven varieties of hard winter wheat, differentiated by the method of Kazakova and Lysogorenko. In 2020 high yields were obtained from the varieties of Amazonka (8,32 t/ha), Kristella (8,27 t/ha), Yantarina (8,07 t/ha), Yakhont (7,81 t/ha). Further analysis of seed material by embryo morphotypes (EMT), maximum and minimum mass of an individual grain was carried out using the Harrington function. A comprehensive assessment of the grains of major and minor EMT has shown that the high-yielding varieties of Amazonka and Christella have an optimal weight of 1000 grains, contain the minimum number of grains with minor EMT and the maximum number of seeds with the main EMT. A comprehensive assessment of sowing equipment showed that the use of this technique affects the yield. So when sowing wheat with the SPM-360 seeder, the declared yield is reduced by 10–15%.

Simulation of the assessment of the competitiveness of sea ports of Ukraine using the Harrington function

Relevance of the research topic. The article is devoted to the problem of assessing the competitiveness of seaports of Ukraine, the relevance of which is highlighted in the National Transport Strategy of Ukraine for the period up to 2030; Strategies for the development of seaports of Ukraine for the period up to 2038; Corporate strategy of the state enterprise "Administration of Seaports of Ukraine" until 2025. Analysis of recent research and publications. The article provides an overview of modern foreign publications on assessing the competitiveness of seaports using various methods, in particular: the Herfindahl-Hirschman index; psychometric Likert scale; expert assessments based on an extended version of M. Porter's "diamond" approach. Selection of unexplored parts of the general problem. The author emphasizes the inadequacy of domestic work on assessing the competitiveness of seaports using economic and mathematical modeling. Problem statement, research goals. The aim of the article is to implement a methodological approach to assessing the competitiveness of Ukrainian seaports using the Harrington desirability function. Method or methodology of the study. The methodological basis of the study is the methods of economic and mathematical modeling. Presentation of the main material. In modern economic conditions, the seaport is considered a complex economic system. One of the most convenient and clear methods of solving multicriteria problems, which include the assessment of competitiveness, is the desirable function of Harrington. The author simulates the assessment of the level of competitiveness of 13 seaports of Ukraine using the psychophysical scale of Harrington's desirability on the basis of these indicators that characterize their technical condition. Conclusions in accordance with the article. As a result of modeling, it was obtained that the generalized coefficient of desirability of assessing the competitiveness of Ukrainian seaports has a value in the range from 0.42 to 0.77, ie the assessment of "satisfactory" and "good". This means that the modernization of ports, which helps to improve these indicators (number of berths, their length, maximum depth of parking near berths, the total area of warehouses) can significantly increase the level of their competitiveness.

Задача оптимизации технических параметров посевных агрегатов

The central problem of crop production remains the lag in the growth of the yield of cultivated crops from the growth of the costs of their production. (Research purpose) The research purpose is in developing a method for optimizing the technical and economic parameters of machine and tractor units for innovative technologies (in particular, sowing units). (Materials and methods) During the study authors used information methods, statistical methods of collecting information in the study of test reports of agricultural machinery and reporting the use of new equipment in various agrotechnologies. The article presents a review and analysis of foreign and domestic literature on the subject under consideration. (Results and discussion) The creation of agricultural machinery should be based on the developments of fundamental and applied agricultural sciences, the use of sowing machines is closely related to the development of technologies in which they are used. One of the most important indicators of technology development of crop production is the efficiency of operation of a sowing tractor unit and the level of potential productivity of cultivated plants. The correct choice of parameters and modes of sowing machines for the construction of the most productive plant placement schemes contributes to the efficiency of the operation of the sowing unit. One of the ways to optimize the processes of selecting parameters and modes can be implemented using the Harrington function. (Conclusions) The article shows that the task of optimizing the technical and economic parameters of the sowing units is designed to promote the creation of new machines that meet the technical, technological, agrotechnical, operational and technological, ergonomic requirements, reliability and safety requirements, and others. The solution to the problem of optimizing the technical and economic parameters of sowing aggregates is reduced to a compromise solution of two target functions for yield and cost.

Оценка результативности и эффективности системы управления охраной труда на горном предприятии

Overview of the modern Russian and International standards in the field of occupational health and safety management at an enterprise is presented. It is determined that the proactive method of assessing the state of working conditions at the enterprise has advantages over the post-event approaches to the development of corrective actions. The assessment is made concerning the application of the generalized Harrington desirability function, which has such properties as continuity, monotonicity, and smoothness. Based on this function, it is possible to assess the state and conditions of occupational safety and compare the indicators of various mining enterprises. GOST 12.0.230.3—2016 was analyzed, and the number of changes were proposed to the method of mathematical calculation. On the example of data provided by the Russian coal industry enterprise, an assessment was made related to the effectiveness and efficiency of the occupational health and safety management system. The values of the linguistic and numerical assessments of the state of the occupational health and safety management system are obtained. Graphic representation of the Harrington function with numerical and linguistic estimates superimposed on it is presented. The applied practices of internal and external audits of the occupational safety management system allow to identify deviations in its work, but they have rather long intervals between checks — from 1 to 3 years. The result of the performed analytical research is an improved methodology for assessment of the effectiveness and efficiency of the occupational safety management system, which allows to make this work more often, easier, and cheaper. Made calculations of the desirability index for a mining enterprise are an example, but they should be carefully analyzed by senior managers for assessment and decision-making. Practical recommendations on the use of the research results by the employer (head of the organization) to improve and develop the system management of occupational health and safety are presented.

Assessment of cherry fruits quality under preprocessing with polyccharidic compositions during storage by the Harrington method

Cherry fruits have a short harvesting season and a limited shelf life of only a few days. Therefore, it is necessary to develop modern storage technologies that would allow to extend their consumption period. The purpose of the study was to determine the storage efficiency of cherry fruits, pre-treated with polysaccharide compositions, by the Harrington method. For research, the fruits of Alpha and Pamyat Artemenka cherries varieties, sprayed with a solution of salicylic acid; solution of chitosan with salicylic acid, dried, removed from the trees at the consumer stage of maturity, each variety and type of processing, put in boxes №5 for storage at a temperature of 1±0.5 °C and relative humidity of 95±1 %. Physicochemical and organoleptic parameters were determined in the fruits during storage. The generalized Harrington function was used to summarize the results of the research. According to the generalized response, cherry fruits of the Alpha and Pamyat Artemenka varieties are better preserved after pre-treatment with a solution of salicylic acid with chitosan (D = 0.95 and 0.97). They were slightly inferior to cherry fruits treated with a solution of salicylic acid with a generalized response rate of 0.86 and 0.77. Cherry fruits pre-treated with a solution of salicylic acid with chitosan were stored for up to 30 days whereas the untreated ones (control) were stored for only 15 days (D = 0.63 and 0.49). Since the indicators of the generalized response were higher in the fruits of Alpha cherries, compared with the Pamyat Artemenka, Alpha cherry fruits can be considered more suitable for storage. Thus, the use of the generalized Harrington desirability function made it possible to objectively assess the cherries for suitability for storage. Treatment with a solution of salicylic acid with chitosan was the best for processing cherry fruits before storage. Key words: cherry fruits, Harrington method, salicylic acid, chitosan, storage.
