Excessive Cruising Costs for Accuracy
Definition
100% cruises tally every tree for absolute accuracy but are 'very expensive and cost prohibitive' for most cases, reserved for high-value stands where volume errors could cause major losses.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: AUD 10,000+ per high-value tract (cost-prohibitive full inventory vs. sampling methods)
- Frequency: Per high-value stand or tract inventory
- Root Cause: Irregular stand conditions requiring 100% tallying; professional duty to ensure accuracy within 'a few percent' but opting for full cruise inflates costs
Why This Matters
The Pitch: Forestry operators in Australia spend AUD 10,000+ extra per high-value tract on full 100% cruises. Automation of inventory sampling cuts this overhead.
