Abstract A project, “Logging System Evaluation”, was initiated by the Iranian Forest Service and Teheran University in 1988. The objective is to develop a quantitative basis for job layout and planning, operations management, and forest management. Initial work is focusing on transportation functions, the largest single cost component. A brief discussion of harvesting conditions in the Caspian forest is followed by the results of initial investigations of rubber-tired skidding.
