“…Examples of productivity results generated by applying tools related to operation function (OF): 99.87% efficiency in rice processing and loading [55], 16.52% reduction in total process lead time [58], and better productivity rates through implementation of LP practices [15,54,56]. The same trend of better results is seen when applying tools related to process function (PF): a 15% increase in rate of surviving shrimp after process quality control [53], reduction in processing lead-time [55,58,59,63,67], elimination of tasks and activities that do not add value to the product or process [63][64][65]; improvement in product quality [59,62]; modeling for optimization of results [5,60]; customer satisfaction [66]; reduction in production costs [61]; and reduction in losses and productivity impacts in a broad way [15,54,56].…”

“…Caicedo Solano et al [5] performed mathematical modeling, intending to maximize use of resources. The objective function minimizes associated costs and constraints, integrating activities that contain lean manufacturing principles (use of natural resources, labor, machinery, product quality, waste reduction in processing times, waiting, and crop yields).…”

“…Population and income growth will continue to increase food demand and change people's dietary preferences [3] as drivers of transformation, mastering technological changes, including biotechnologies, digitalization, and "systemic" innovative approaches and their potential addressing drawbacks, to sustainably improve food and agricultural productivity [4]. Due to this increase in worldwide demand for agricultural and agro-industrial products, agriculture has changed the acquisition, planning, planting, maintenance, harvesting, transportation, and distribution stages [5].…”

Agriculture must find new ways to reduce costs and increase efficiency to meet the rising demand for products, avoiding waste due to potential food scarcity. Through the systematic literature review methodology, this study analyzes and synthesizes the existing literature on lean manufacturing (LM) applied in agro-pastoral production, its impact on reduction in losses and waste, and productivity increases considering production function mechanism (PFM), connecting to a sustainability model based on triple bottom line (TBL). A comprehensive search strategy was used to identify relevant studies and critically evaluate them using pre-determined inclusion and exclusion criteria. The findings provide insights into LM applied in agro-pastoral production and inform future research in the field, highlighting the potential of using LM concepts by reducing losses and waste and increasing productivity. The potential for TBL impacts from application of lean concepts in agro-pastoral production suggests a tendency for growth in this area of research. A theoretical understanding of how lean tools and techniques can be applied to improve productivity and profitability in the agricultural sector is provided, as well as practical examples and recommendations for implementing lean practices in agricultural operations, aligning sustainability and LP tools and concepts.

“…Each of these systems expresses the need for a balance between the manufactured economic models and the total need for this product. [7] Finding the functional relationship between the parameters is one of the most important tasks of mathematical modeling: the correlation problem. The tasks of the balance model include, as a rule, tasks related to the optimization of a resource in order to track changes in the parameters of the system as a whole.…”

Mathematical modeling in the agro-industrial complex: basic problems and models construction

Currently, information technologies have been tightly integrated into agriculture. Since no computer calculations are possible without a powerful mathematical apparatus, the question arises about the possibility of modeling the processes occurring in agriculture with the help of modern achievements of science and technology. The present study is devoted to the existing methods of mathematical modeling in agriculture in relation to the applied aspects of agriculture. The aim of the research is to develop a critical approach to modern developments in the field of mathematical modeling and their place in agriculture. It is shown that the introduction of mathematical models based on modern scientific knowledge contributes to the optimization of agricultural processes and increasing the efficiency of any farm. Based on statistical studies, it is shown that among all branches of agriculture, mathematical methods are most often used in economic calculations, least of all, in calculations related to farm modeling. This is explained both by the complexity of modeling all processes occurring within a single farm, and by the loss of accuracy, which increases with the complexity of the system model.
