This
course will cover both principles and applications of logging cost
analysis from the perspective of both wood buyers/procurement foresters
and independent logging contractors. We will focus on methods for
evaluating historic production and cost records. We will review spreadsheet
models such as the “Auburn Harvesting Analyzer” and will
illustrate ways to modify this tool to model a range of harvesting
systems and variations.
Upon completion of this course, participants should be
well-equipped to better evaluate logging costs in their businesses
using these techniques.
Professional foresters involved in wood procurement, sale
layout, and harvesting; forest engineers; and representatives of
forestry equipment manufacturers would benefit from the course content.

Due
to market volatility and increasing uncertainty in the forest products
industry, timber harvesting contractors must market their services with
flexibility in order to stay competitive. This seminar will outline
current timber harvesting systems and explore new technologies that may
allow contractors to become more productive, operate at lower cost, and
comply with environmental regulations.
