Statistical Analysis of Functioning of Repair Service of Ukraine

Abstract

The efficiency of agriculture and its individual sectors largely depends on the provision of technical means for technological processes of production. Reducing the number of agricultural machinery and equipment, reducing the quality indicators of their use leads to a reduction in the volume of production of the agrarian industry. In connection with the constant development of scientific and technological progress, the study of the market of agricultural machinery and repair costs for loss of performance requires new research and modern scientific approaches. In recent years, the formation of directions to ensure the reliability of agricultural machinery in the system of innovation processes based on the analysis of repair costs remains relevant. The paper presents the results of research on the dynamics of expenditures on repair of agricultural machinery in the period 2015-2019. From the information sources of the State Statistics Service of Ukraine it was found that in 2019 the costs of repair of agricultural equipment amounted to 2127.5 million UAH. The maximum expenses for repair of agricultural equipment in 2019 in Ukraine among regions was 279.55 million UAH in Kyiv region. Expenditures of funds for repair of agricultural equipment in Kyiv region have a dispersion in the range from 1,726 thousand UAH to 44866.29 thousand UAH. During the processing of statistical data, the agricultural enterprises of the region were conditionally divided into three gradations: І grade – 42 enterprises; ІІ grade – 101 enterprises; ІІІ grade – 43 enterprises. Prospective directions of research are the analysis and synthesis of costs for repair of agricultural machinery, improvement of maintenance and repair strategies. The methods of research of agricultural machinery repair costs should be based on the results of statistical analysis, take into account the state of machines in operation, the repair strategies addopted, the results of technical condition monitoring.
