The study's objective was to update, according to the applied technologies, the working time and production norms for the forest management practice regarding the project drafting phase. Observations were conducted in multiple working setups focusing on the differences related to technologies, infrastructure, the working method during the forest management plan's (FMP's) development to analyze and optimize the whole process. At first, layouts/working models of the process were developed for each of the eight distinct identified operations within the frame of project drafting phase for the FMP: a) graphical representation (to the scale of the cartographic base) of the topographic surveys, b) calculation of volumes, c) transposing of forest compartments and sub-compartments/ forest management units (FMUs) boundaries and indicatives onto Topographic Base Plans (TBSs) – within a process of change and/or create a cartographic base, d) assembling the graphical representations derived from the topographic surveys and updating planimetric details onto the topographic base, e) automatic data processing, f) preparation of the Second Forest Planning Conference (SFPC), g) Drafting the Forest Management Plan (FMP) at Yield Management Unit (YMU) level, h) guidance and control of the workflow during the phase of drafting the FMPs. Also, working time norms were obtained for the management/leading positions, considering all the tasks within its responsibility area. Observations were made on a set of 19 Forest Districts (FDs), which were comprised of 21 YMUs geomorphologically distributed to categories: plains, wetlands areas, hilly areas, mountainous areas. The data set included multiple elements of variation to consider the diversity of influence factors on the output (the norms of time and production). All mentioned working setups confer unitary character at the state level to the obtained time and production norms for the FMP's drafting. Data analysis, data processing and statistical analysis were conducted with the SPSS software package (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences). The study includes relevant result-based conclusions and recommendations to continue the recordings for all identified operations referring to FMP development leading to new norms of time and production for all the forest management workflow.
