Abstract

The application of multi-service implies the performance of thorough analyses on technical, organisational and economic aspects. First, an optimal use of machine processing capacities and an efficient use of worker’s work time must be ensured. To this purpose, the ratio between the time of operation of machines, without supervision and the manual time required for the preparation and supervision of the processing operation must be determined. Depending on this ratio, a decision on the implementation of the multi-service system shall be taken.

Key words: Multiservicing, Markov chain, input, production function, Takacs-Runnenburg model, mechanisation coefficient, loading coefficient.
