Description
For sawmills that produce a diverse array of products to meet specific customer demands, which is common for many operations outside North America, ensuring timely delivery of the right product is essential. The challenge lies in deciding which logs to process and selecting the appropriate sawing patterns, a task that is often complex. Furthermore, the necessity of evaluating various log purchasing strategies, market possibilities, and production limitations complicates the decision-making process, illustrating that achieving optimal operational choices using traditional planning approaches is unfeasible. To address this issue, the SAWSIM®-LP linear programming optimization system was designed to assist sawmilling companies in identifying the ideal "sawing pattern recipes"—the best combination of sawing patterns that will convert a specific input log mix into a desired production output. Beyond supporting immediate production planning, this innovative system can also provide valuable insights for addressing longer-term questions related to marketing strategies and log sourcing. By employing such advanced optimization tools, sawmills can enhance their operational efficiency and responsiveness to market demands.
Description
The system commenced its operations with the Forest Registry and Silviculture modules, and by 2010, the Harvest, Transportation, and Wood Yard modules were also integrated. In early 2011, Land Management and GIS modules were incorporated, while the Nursery, Demands, and Land Management modules are in the final stages of development. Additionally, in 2012, the INFLOR team plans to implement the Depletion module. BSC opted for the INFLOR SGF system primarily due to its seamless compatibility with SAP and the advantage of having a single supplier for their forest system needs. Data mapping for the plots is accomplished using tools designed for data recovery, which aids in registering, validating, and disseminating information within the geographic database and ERP. The system facilitates harvest control by allowing the programming and definition of harvested areas, assigning teams for the tasks, collecting biometrics from the harvest supervisor, and generating comprehensive reports detailing the presence and performance of each individual involved in the process. This integration not only enhances operational efficiency but also improves accountability within the organization.
