Skyline thinning production rate equations using the thin simulation model

Creator:

Starnes, Lawson W.

Abstract:

This paper shows how ten easy-to-use linear skyline thinning production rate equations were obtained by transforming existing but more cumbersome turn time equations using the THIN simulation model [11). The equations provide reasonable approximations of delay-free hourly production for several cable yarders operating skyline thinnings under a variety of conditions....

Capstone Project
An introduction to the formulation of logging production forecasts by computer models

Creator:

Craig, Robert James

Abstract:

Potentially large savings can be realized within the forest industry by improved machine scheduling, labour scheduling, machine investment, inventory management, and the maximization of wood value. Forecasting must change within the forest industry from Ttguesstimatesll to more efficient production forecasting models. Much work needs to be done with data collection...

Capstone Project
A method of selection of cable harvesting machines for Vermont

Creator:

Stirler, Dennis John

Abstract:

There is much interest in the State of Vermont in cable harvesting. Since there are no time studies available for cable harvesting with various machines in Vermont, it is necessary to arrive at production and cost levels by a different method. The method chosen for this paper is made up...
