Analysis of the Structure of Agricultural Machinery Repair Workshops - A Case Study

Modern agricultural production implies the use of highly sophisticated machines. Their high reliability, efficiency, and operational life depend to a large extent on high-quality and timely regular preventive maintenance measures. Unfortunately, during exploitation, the machines will break down, and we attempt to restore them to their correct state with a high-quality, quick, and cheap repair. To achieve high-quality and efficient maintenance and repair, good work organization, necessary facilities, devices, and tools, as well as qualified and educated workers are essential. In the work, an audit of two central repair facilities for the repair of agricultural machinery was carried out to verify their advantages and disadvantages about the organization of maintenance and repair of machinery. The results of the research indicate the absence of diagnostics, maintenance planning, a longer time interval for the procurement of standard spare parts (3–5 days) in workshop 1, while in workshop 2 the only deficiency is manifested in the absence of maintenance planning.
