1 TTS-Manager A tool for the labour time planning on farms AKAL 2007 Seminar 5th and 6th March 2007 Wien Eerikki Kaila & Veli-Matti Tuure TTS Research eerikki.kaila@tts.fi veli-matti.tuure@tts.fi
2 Finnish farm enterprises Number of farms (year 2006) Based on family farms (89%) Main production line dairy husbandry (44,7% of total annual working hours in agriculture) Short peak periods in plant production Amount of skilful labour force is limited Expanding production need changes on work methods and machinery
3 The labour input and agricultural production in Finland 130 Index 1998 = Gross output Labour input e 07e Source: Statistics Finland, forecast PTT
4 Trends in Finnish agriculture Number of farms decreasing rapidly the average annual reduction 3,5 % Remaining farms expanding production Bigger farms need more management Labour on rural areas decreasing Workload and stress increasing Need for production planning
5 Economy Amount of work Animal welfare Work safety Environmental aspects Farm work Agricultural production Forest production Other production Decision making in production planning on a farm Risk minimizing Leisure time Contents of work Moral viewpoints Values
6 Stress factors in agriculture Among all the farmers 1. Uncertainty due to agricultural policy 2. Bureaucracy 3. Amount of work Among farmers who have enlarged production 1. Amount of work Need for labour time planning
7 Planning labour time When Expanding production Having machine cooperation or contractor work Changing production methods Renewing machinery Making building investments
8 The aim of the study To determine the total labour time on farms dynamically in different period Balanced work chains Including farm conditions Compatibility with other tools
9 Project partners Agrifood Research Finland, Economics ProAgria, Association of Rural Advisory Centres Financed by Finnish Ministry of Labour - The Finnish Workplace Development Programme TYKES
10 TIME STANDARDS Grain production Potato production Dairy production FARM VARIABLES - Labour force - Production lines - Cultivated areas - Number of animals - Fertilizer and seed levels - Yield levels - Feeding levels CALCULATION OPTIONS Contents of calculation - Calculation of product - Calculation of total work time Degree of coarseness -Rough - Detailed CALCULATION - Choosing work methods, machinery and driving speeds - Accepting/correcting default starting days and frequencies of occurrence - Accepting/correcting the labour time requirements (min/ha or min/animal) -Estimating and filling farm management works TIMELINE Accuracy 1 day calculation period 1 year - Labour force - Labour time requirement - Work schedule TABLES - Total work time - Work time per products - Work time per methods - Production volumes
11 Standard time system for agriculture Includes work time requirements for different work methods and machinery on field works and animal husbandry Based on time studies on farms Updated and supplemented regularly by TTS Research
12 TTS-Manager functions Stand-alone program in Windows operating system Programming with MS Visual C++.NET-program Compatible with time standard files Possibility to update time standards and add methods or machines without changes in the program Operation language is Finnish Timeline accuracy one day / one year Default values for timing, yield levels, driving speeds etc. Default priorities for farm work Instructions are included in CHM file
13 Farm variables Labour Working periods Max daily working time Crop production Cultivated areas (ha) Number of plots Animal husbandry Number of animals Feeding levels Distances (m)
14 Calculations Crop production Grain production Potato Sugar beet Silage Hay Pasture Animal husbandry Milk Beef Pig husbandry Manure handling Farm management work Other farm works Possibility to add other plants and animals Yield level Method Machine Work list Driving speed Labour time min/ha and h/year
15 Timeline Labour time available h/day Scalable timeline
16 Tables Plant production Potato production Summary of labour time on plant production Total labour time on a farm
17 Conclusions TTS-Manager labour time planning program Will be launched in March 2007 Available only in Finnish on CD-ROM disc For farmers and advisors More information available on Internet at address:
