Analyzing timber harvesting systems using STALs-3
1992
Koger, J.
STALS-3 is a simplified computerized timber harvesting program that utilizes production by function, queuing theory, and simulation techniques to analyze skidding, loading, and trucking interactions at a "hot" landing. Production by function estimates hourly production rates, unit costs of production, and equipment hourly cost ratios for skidding, loading, and trucking. Queuing theory is used to determine the probability of a truck being available for loading, hourly production, and the optimum number of trucks. The simulation portion of the model determines equipment delays and harvesting costs. The program is written in Microsoft QuickBASIC and is designed to run on personal computers (IBM and compatible).
