Evaluating the working efficiency of transportation means at meat processing works

Transportation works are important link of every production activity and they considerably affect the producing costs. The study present the analysis of working efficiency of transportation means using the example of meat processing factory. To solve the problem, the structure of transporting routes covered at analyzed works, number and localization of goods receive sites as well as the amounts and types of transportation means used must have been determined. Then the software making possible to evaluate the efficiency of transportation means work at a production facility was worked out. Calculations were performed using data from meat processing works in Górno. The work efficiency results for particular vehicles used to transport produced goods to shops were presented in a form of indicators in tables. Performed study revealed that mean amount ofcarriages under analyzed conditions was 0.492 t, average effective work time 1.39 h, average operative work time 6.5 h, mean uploading and unloading time 2.2 h. Average efficiency of transportation means during the effective time was 0.37 t/h, while during operative time 0.07 t/h, mean labor inputs 10.9 working hours, mean distance coveredwith no load 36.9 km, whereas with a load 69.3 km.
