SAWSIM 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.
