Infield logistics planning for harvest operations
نویسندگان
چکیده
Crops are harvested by performing a series of operations with harvesting vehicles in the field. The harvest operation is performed with combines (harvesters). Supporting logistical activities of transferring and transporting harvest (grain) from the field to the farm are carried out with the help of tractors. This research focuses on detailed logistics planning of various infield harvest operations performed with harvesters and tractors.
