One of important information for planning and controlling is productivity. Productivity is working output from the worker or a group during a certain time. The objective of this study is to investigate productivity of forest harvesting in teak forest.
The study carried out at KPH Randublatung, KPH Mantingan and KPH Balapulang Forest State Enterprise Unit I Central Java in July-September 2000. Cutting in KPH Balapulang carried out in the fifth age class but in KPH Randublatung and KPH Mantingan carried out in the eighth or ninth age class. The data collected by time study method. The method use selective operating time (SOT), normal time, allowance and standard time approach. Productivity calculated with divided working result by standard time.
Productivity per day of manual felling amount to 3.5 trees and manual bucking was in the range 0.38-1.84 m3. Productivity of mechan ized felling amount to six trees per day and mechanized bucking was in the range 5.208-12.853 m3 per day. Productivity per day of manual skidding was 0.985 m3 and skidding system carried out by oxen amount 3.815 m3. Productivity of hauling counts in the range 5.985-8.805 m3 per day with transport distance in the range 7.43- 37.46 kilometers.
