RESUMO

The Brazilian cellulose and paper industry has been total sales of US$ 7.5 billions on 2000, with consume of 14 millions of m3 of eucalypt wood. Logging and wood transportation are responsible for 50% of final cost of wood. On cut-to-length system, the harvester is the main machine used on felling and processing of wood. This is an equipment with high cost and technology, justifying studies to improve the planning and precision of operations for obtainment of the best use of machines, with low number of work hours. This work aimed, based on industry data bank, to analyze the kind of influence of different technical variables about the productivity of these equipments and obtain mathematic models to predict the expected productivity for a harvester on different work conditions. It was picked up data from Duratex S.A., Votorantim Cellulose and Paper, Cia. Suzano of Paper and Cellulose and Aracruz Celulose S.A. It was done two spreadsheets, one for harvesting and processing with no debarking, and other for processing with debarking done by harvester. This study analyzed data referent of more than 4 millions m3 of eucalypt wood harvested on first rotation and 200 thousand hours of work by 69 harvesters, totalizing more than 14 thousand of data lines. Average individual volume was the variable that, isolated, better explain harvester productivity; followed by mean DBH, mean height and volume of wood per hectare. More precise models were obtained for different work systems (i.e. with or without wood debarking) with determination coefficient higher than 0.75, by multiple linear regression.
