PART 11: 



Recommended Logging Operation 

 for Near Complete Harvesting 



As suggested in the conclusion of Part I, costs could probably be lowered signi- 

 ficantly by using the most productive equipment for each operation. Table 1 in Part I 

 reports the cost of logging as experienced during the actual operation. In Part II, 

 selecting the most productive units and combining those into a well-scheduled operation 

 gives at least an order of magnitude estimate of possible improvement in cost. 



Production Capabilities, Planning, and Scheduling 



To simplify the process of system design and scheduling, all fiber units of meas- 

 urement were converted to bone dry tons (BDT) . Table 3 shows the tonnage harvested 

 in both units .
