1. Forest Operational Planning and Control System (FOPC) Evgeny Kuznetsov, St. Petersburg State Forest Technical Academy

3. Fundamental starting points for FOPC and FRAP Which are the technical tools for the job? What can labour perform? Which factors have influence on the performance? What are the costs? What are the prices on the products? What restrictions are present? If you have such question you need system analysis

4. Competence building for all positions in the forest operations chain (managers, supervisors, loggers, haulers, road staff) It is necessary to combine theoretical and practical training Education for an universities, as well as for vocational schools and in-service training

5. Criteria and indicators of operational efficiency in sustainable forest management: - Productivity and cost; -Wood value and income; -Stumpage; -Wood storage level; -Environmental demands (soil, water, biodiversity); -Social demands

6. How to develop thinning in the Russian forests? Strip-road model with selective thinning between Harvester + forwarder or chainsaw operator + forwarder Soil protection by slash Quality control with connection to the digital chain Training of operating teams

7. How to develop final felling? Harvester + forwarder with low soil pressure and impact Improved cutting to assortments depending on customer demands (pulpwood, sawlogs, special sortments, etc.) Environmental considerations Improved seasonal planning Training of operating teams

8. How to develop forest energy harvest? Mechanized harvesting in young stands Harvesting of slashes and tops of trees Harvesting of low value trees (aspen, alder, etc.)

9. How to develop logistic chain? Efficient planning of a wood flow Minimized wood stores Increased density of all-year roads Lager trucks with more axes and reduced axis load

10. How to develop biology, technology and logistics in the forest regeneration chain? Site adapted soil preparation Planting with seedlings of suitable origin Control and weeding Cleaning of the young stands
