A new guide for work studies in forestry

Abstract: A team of international specialists has developed a new guide for conducting forest work studies. The guide is a quick how-to manual designed for the field researcher, and it may contribute to the international harmonization of work-study methods. This endeavor was supported by the European Union through COST Action FP0902; however, the author team was not limited to European scientists, it was world-wide. The draft was reviewed by three international experts external to the team and to the action. Two provisi… Show more

“…Time input per sample plot was determined with the time-and-motion study technique. 15 Time input was split into time elements 16 considered to be typical of the functional process analyzed, and consisted of harvesting, turning, and delays. All time elements and the related Th ere were signifi cant diff erences between varietals in terms of both the diameter and the clean weight of rootstocks.…”

“…The working time was recorded through the application of a continuous timing method wherein a clock ran continuously and the times for different elements were separated from each other under distinct numeric codes (e.g. Harstela 1991;Magagnotti et al 2013). During the experiment, the researcher observed the work performance outside the risk zone so that he did not disturb the work of the operator.…”

“…The experiment consisted of a typical time-and-motion study, designed to evaluate machine productivity and to determine the potential for further improvement. 14 The study was conducted at the cycle level, defined as the sequence of tasks necessary to produce a full load of rootstock chunks. 15 Each work cycle was timed individually, using hand-held field computers, running dedicated time study software.…”
