Implementation of «lean manufacturing» technologies in rice irrigation systems of the Krasnodar region

Abstract

The article discusses the issues of improving the planning of land reclamation activities in rice irrigation systems due to the increasing shortage of water resources. Rice is the most important crop in ensuring Russia’s food security. The modern stage of rice production involves large expenditures of resources, including water. The main “tool” of rice production is rice irrigation systems. Optimization of rice production should be based on taking into account the factors and parameters of rice cultivation, the best practices of leading rice-growing countries and the level of scientific and technological progress. The main difficulty of developing new resource-saving technologies lies in the balanced management of available resources. Such management is possible only when taking into account all the connections and relationships of factors and parameters that affect the final result - yield. Therefore, to solve the problem of obtaining guaranteed rice yields, it is necessary to solve equations with a number of constraints and several objective functions. The solution of such issues requires a progressive and multilevel approach using statistical analysis of the available monitoring data, using a mathematical apparatus implemented in a simulation-optimization mathematical model. Therefore, the presented studies are relevant, and their solution will strengthen Russia’s food security. The main and major task of resource allocation is to reduce the cost of agro-reclamation activities. The achievement of this task is implemented by the developed ecological-adaptive methodology, including optimization of land reclamation measures, taking into account the uncertainty of the initial information to ensure the effectiveness of management decisions on the rice irrigation system. This approach will allow employees of the agro-industrial complex to make management decisions in a timely manner, receive guaranteed yields of high-quality rice grains, and rice crops rotation.
