Machinery labor fronts. A contribution to management of mechanization in sugarcane production bases

Main Article Content
Abstract
Mechanization management in sugarcane production bases today faces difficulties such as the obsolescence of machinery with an average age for tractors higher than 30 years. The high dependence on external services, the duality of the harvesting system where external services are received from modern combines. and a park of old machines is operated by sugar cane production bases such as cooperatives, fragmented into teams of very low productivity, which affects the organization of logistics, technical assistance and the use of transportation. This paper theoretically demonstrates the advantages in machinery management achieved by forming labor fronts with the equipment of two or more bases, to jointly harvest the sugarcane areas. Likewise, the advantages of using the fronts as operational centers for other tasks that can be fulfilled with high quality in unison with the harvest or immediately after it is executed. The implementation of the fronts in the 2021 - 2022 harvest is described, resulting greater productivity for the harvesters grouped in the new system and demonstrating the possibility of achieving greater sugar yield.
