Secondary manufacturers in the forest products industry face a complex production planning process. Linear programming based applications have addressed this production planning issue. However, most models have been developed for a specific plant configuration and cannot readily be applied to oth...

Linear programming based applications have addressed this production planning issue. However, most models have been developed for a specific plant configuration and cannot readily be applied to others. A relational database approach was used to create an integrated linear programming based decision support system that can be used to analyze production planning issues in a wide variety of secondary wood product manufacturers. The system was validated at a secondary manufacturing operation in British Columbia. The flexibility of the resultant system indicated the potential to finetune operating strategies in the highly dynamic environment characteristic of secondary manufacturers. 2009-08-20T21:12:11Z 2009-08-20T21:12:11Z 2002 2009-08-20T21:12:11Z 2002-11 Electronic Thesis or Dissertation http://hdl.handle.net/2429/12451 eng UBC Retrospective Theses Digitization Project [http://www.library.ubc.ca/archives/retro_theses/]
