Questions and Answers

Which of the following best describes 'operational efficiency' in the context of forest operations?

  • The ability to quickly change production methods in response to market demands.
  • The aspects of production that lead to increased waste and reduced costs.
  • The measure of how effectively resources are utilized to achieve desired outcomes. (correct)
  • The exclusive focus on maximizing timber yield, regardless of resource use.

What is the primary goal of 'production adjustment' in forestry management?

  • To focus solely on timber production, ignoring non-timber forest products.
  • To increase the use of resources in order to maximize output.
