- Studies in these research areas are done through the application of skills gained in operations research, modeling, time studies, statistical techniques, and ArcGIS. These studies are aimed at improving on forest operational efficiencies (costs, productivity, systems mechanization, operational skills, and ergonomics) through optimal tactical planning approaches in technical feasibility, financial viability, sound environmental practices, and safety.
