METHOD FOR EVALUATING OF MACHINE COMPLEX FOR FORESTRY TECHNOLOGY Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: agriculture and forestry. SUBSTANCE: method involves determining evaluation factor values during operation of the whole complex of machines by determining actual intermediate values of evaluation factors for each element of the complex; carrying out total evaluation of the complex by determining the nature of correspondence between final actual values of evaluation factors and standard values. Evaluation is performed at three levels: complete correspondence - adaptable complex; partial correspondence - complex used within restricted terms; noncorrespondence - inadequate complex. In two above mentioned cases fitness for service is determined by maximum presence of intermediate actual values in final values. EFFECT: increased efficiency and provision for precise evaluation of usefulness of complex of machines for operation. 4 cl
