Improvement of logging operations technological chains in the conditions of seasonal dynamics

There are many options for organizing the logging process by timber enterprises. In most cases they are chosen by management based on personal experience. Cost-effective development of the forest sector is associated with the use of the most rational technological chains of logging operations, adapted to the specific natural and industrial conditions of forest territories. This research is a continuation of the author's team work on the complex task of improving the efficiency of logging operations, taking into account the analysis of various moving and processing operations of the technological process. In previous publications the authors presented a graphoanalytical and mathematical models to solve the task. This article presents a solution based on them to improve the technological chains of logging operations, taking into account the seasonal nature of logging for the conditions of the Krasnoyarsk territory. Special attention is paid to the comparative analysis of costs for performing transport and loading and unloading operations in the conditions of seasonal dynamics. A rational chain of logging operations has been determined, which allows to reduce costs compared with other options for organizing the technological process and, as a result, to increase profits from the sale of products.
