It is necessary to ensure a steady flow of funds for feasibility of sustainable management in tropical forests. However, this is not always possible, due to often not planned forest exploitation. This research aims to present a method that assists planning and distribution of resources, by scenarios formulating, in order to optimize the number of teams for each exploitation activity under time limit to its conclusion. Based on time that a team uses to perform a certain activity and its sequence, it used operations research techniques, such as linear programming and PERT/CPM, in order to determine the critical path of the exploitation chain of native wood. These methods, arranging the sequence of activities and determining which ones should receive more attention in planning, optimize the number of teams in order to perform the chain within a time limit, which is necessary for the region, once the cutting cycle should be limited to the dry season. As result, the proposed method proves to be a good alternative for forest planning of low impact activities ensuring the optimal number of teams and performing the entire project in stipulated time.
