For years the forestry companies and especially that serve of logging have implemented the computation like a work tool, this has allowed to automate the decision making. The intention of this practical one is to obtain that the forest sector continues being competitive international level, for so objective becomes necessary to optimize the different activities that participate in the forest production. The costs associated to the task of logging are those of greater incidence within the operative plans, for that reason it is important to have knowledge of his real effects in the calculation of the tariffs. The work carried out consisted of developing an applications package and consults for the structuring and tariff to receive for a task of logging, developed in the Visual Basic programming language. SICOFOR 1.0.1 to the being compared with other spreadsheet as for example the developed ones in Microsoft Excel give a greater facility of work, allows to update the data bases of the machinery to use, personnel, administration and implementation of work for each system of advantage, in addition it gives the tariff in detail to receive. Although really those that determine the tariffs of the different services are the companies plaintiffs of the services, the development of the program as tool of support to the decision making, continues being useful to compare the tariff that the ordering forest company offers and the real costs of the service of harvest, to make the decision to accept or to misestimate the business.
