Slovenia allocates a significant source of funds for better exploitation of forest potential through measures of the Rural Development Program (RDP). In the last decade, RDP measures to improve the supply of forestry services in the Republic of Slovenia have significantly supported the modernization of forestry machinery and equipment for felling and harvesting wood in order to improve the forest-timber value chain and increase the efficiency and competitiveness of farms and companies. In order to improve the supply of forestry services, one measure was financed under the RDP 2007-2013, namely: Measure 122: Increasing the economic value of forests. The main purpose of measure 122 was to improve the efficiency of private forest management through greater use of forest production potential, introduction of improvements in logging and timber harvesting and greater safety at work in the forest, and thus contribute to increasing labor productivity in forestry in line with national and EU objectives. Within the current period of the RDP 2014-2020, one measure was financed to improve the offer of forestry services in Slovenia, namely measure M08: Investments in the development of forest areas and improvement of the viability of forests. The main purpose of the measure is to encourage investment in the development of forest areas and improve the viability of forests, which includes the area of ??forest regeneration after natural disasters and investments in forestry technologies and wood processing and mobilization.
F.30 Professional assessment of the situation
COBISS.SI-ID: 43201283The WoodChainManager is a Web-based tool for the assessment of costs in harvesting systems. WoodChainManager is a tool composed of three modules intended for the assessment of material costs of individual machines or the total costs of all selected machines in a forest harvesting system. Users can test the impact of individual technologies on the total material costs of the harvesting system and thus optimize operation processes. The tool for describing harvesting systems is the matrix, which visualizes cutting and hauling from the stand to the end user. The tool has built-in algorithms that prevent the selection of an illogical harvesting system. The selected method for calculating costs for individual machines is simple, but still reflects the state of the actually incurred costs. The WoodChainManager deals with the majority of techniques used in forestry under conditions ubiquitous in south-eastern Europe. For all techniques, default values are provided for the calculation of costs. Users can adapt these default values relative to the characteristics of their own mechanization.
