Assessment of Costs in Harvesting Systems using an Web-based Tool (WoodChainManager)

Assessment of Costs in Harvesting Systems using an Web-based Tool (WoodChainManager) WCM

EN
WoodChainManager, developed by the Slovenian Forestry Institute, is a web-based tool for estimating wood supply chain costs. It offers three user modules for assessing material costs of individual machines and total costs. This tool helps optimize harvesting systems by allowing users to test the impact of different technologies on total material costs. The simple matrix-based method visualizes the entire harvesting process, providing accurate cost calculations. WoodChainManager aims to increase awareness of cost management and enable direct comparison of various harvesting systems.
