Productivity models for harvesting processes (HeProMo)

HeProMo is an IT-based tool to predict the costs of timber harvesting for different harvesting scenarios under different aspects such as harvester logging. It allows certain settings to reflect the real situations in the forest. It offers a big information yield in the fields of preliminary costing and sensitivity analysis

The productivity model (HeProMo) predicts quickly and with a good accuracy the costs for concrete timber harvesting scenarios. It allows the identification of optimization possibilities. The application is quite easy to handle and gives a solid basis for good economic choices

Estimation of productivity and cost for wood harvesting operations (preliminary costing). Writing and controlling of offers for wood harvesting operations. Estimation about of variables and their importance (sensitivity analysis). Well suitable for application in teaching, education and research to identify key contributing factors and assessment of their influence on the results
