本出版物讨论了基本的营销和经济概念，规划方法，并评估日志分拣场业务的可行性方法。特别注意从森林恢复、燃料减少和间伐作业中对小径和未充分利用的原木进行分类。提出了一种客观地确定建立原木分拣场作业的可行性的有计划的规划方法。这种批判性思维将有助于制定战略，营销，业务和运营计划，以指导原木分拣场的发展和运营。初步的财务可行性应该在规划过程的早期开始，以帮助将精力集中在潜在可行的机会上，并节省时间、精力和金钱，避免追逐糟糕的投资方案。在缩小选择范围后，进行详细的资源评估，市场和财务分析。几个关键因素被认为是每个日志分拣场的情况下进行评估。虽然商业原木分拣场在整个北美有着良好的记录，但小型社区和政府经营的原木分拣场的成功有限。必须认真考虑雇用一个有经验的原木分拣场承包商来经营和管理日常业务。美国政府和社区原木分拣场的成功运营需要解决几个运营、政策和司法问题。
This publication discusses basic marketing and economic concepts, planning approach, and feasibility methodology for assessing log sort yard operations. Special attention is given to sorting smalldiameter and underutilized logs from forest restoration, fuels reduction, and thinning operations. A planned programming approach of objectively determining the feasibility of establishing a log sort yard operation is recommended. This critical thinking will help develop the strategic, marketing, business, and operational plans to guide the development and operation of the log sort yard. Preliminary financial feasibility should begin early in the planning process to help focus efforts on potentially viable opportunities and save time, effort, and money from chasing poor investment scenarios. After options are narrowed, detailed resource assessment, markets, and financial analyses are done. Several critical factors are considered and evaluated for each log sort yard scenario. Although commercial log sort yards have a proven track record throughout North America, small community-based and government-operated log yards have had limited success. Serious consideration must be given to employing an experienced log sort yard contractor to operate and manage day-to-day operations. Several operational, policy, and judicial issues need to be resolved for successful operation of government and community log sort yards in the United States.
