This course will cover both principles and applications of logging cost analysis techniques from the perspective of wood dealers, procurement foresters, and independent logging contractors.  Course content will focus on methods for evaluating historic production and cost records within the context of the evolving wood supply chain.  Spreadsheet models will be reviewed and provided to participants for hands-on training involving modifications necessary to assess and simulate a range of harvesting systems, techniques, and equipment mix variations.  Upon completion of this course, participants should be well-equipped to better evaluate logging costs using a range of techniques.
