Abstract

The research is conducted in the city of Pinar del Rio, Pinar del Rio province and aims to develop procedures that allow the mechanical wood processing underutilized in the furniture sector. software like SPSS 15.0 as a mathematical tool were used to satisfy the above purpose and further surveys conducted by techniques such as interviews and questionnaires to determine preferred by consumers species showing that the species most widely accepted are Swietenia macrophylla King (mahogany), Cedrela odorata Linneo (cedar), Hibiscus elatus Swartz (blue mahoe), Tectona grandis L.f. (teak) and Tabebuia angustata Britton (oak). Moreover, there is timber species in the forest heritage of the company in large volumes of existence with potential to replace preferred in the production of high demand. Cedar and mahogany are the species most preferred by consumers for the production of wood. Mathematical methods have been developed that enable maximize lumber production with the highest quality, species that abound in the area of research.
