An approach to considering uncertainty in developing long-term, least-cost wood procurement policies
… in question. This approach was applied to a wood procurement problem which had been previously solved as deterministic. The previous problem was a case study of an integrated forest products firm with the objective of minimizing the present value of wood procurement over a 20-year study using …

A linear programming approach to minimizing wood procurement costs for integrated forest products firms
… of minimizing the present value cost of wood procurement over a 20 year study is solved by a computer using the firm's present and three alternate price structures. The study is implemented with the product quality constraints and a managerial constraint of the firm and incorporates …

Opportunities to Increase Productivity of the Industrial Wood Supply System Through Improved Planning and Communication
… planning and communication were present in the wood supply industry and to determine how information that was being exchanged was being used in these processes. During 2001, Virginia Tech Forestry Operations researchers completed a study to assess the current state of planning and communication …

Production capacity utilization in the southern logging industry
… of extra capacity in relation to the risk of wood outage at the consuming mill. The model could serve as a starting point for a better understanding of stump to mill wood flow. Quality control statistical methods were adapted to analyze logging operations systems. Run charts, control charts, …

PROCESS AND TECHNO-ECONOMIC MODELING FOR WASTE-TO-ENERGY PROCESSES TO IDENTIFY EFFECTIVE FACILITY SCALING
… this work models how fluctuations in waste wood availability impact storage pile size and inventory dynamics. To better understand the role of inventory management, this study evaluates different unpiling methods, including first-in, first-out (FIFO), last-in, first-out (LIFO), and …

Foto-optische Erfassung der Dimension von Nadelrundholzabschnitten unter Einsatz digitaler, bildverarbeitender Methoden
Die traditionelle einzelabschnittsweise Dimensionsermittlung von Rundholzabschnitten durch einfache Handmessverfahren im Wald ist fehleranfällig, zeit- und kostenaufwendig. Im letzten Jahrzehnt hat sich deshalb die Vermessung von Sägeholzmassensortimenten (schwache bis mittelstarke …
