Working Group 4
In this working group the Action will investigate the current state of the art in regards to system analysis and modeling in forest operations. The purpose is to compare the different and numerous system analysis approaches and models (from simple deterministic to more complex stochastic and discrete-event) developiing recently as a result of the rapid change of harvesting methods under the pressure of increased mechanization and forest energy harvesting. Furthermore, the WG will investigate new approaches to design supply chains and their associated costs i.e. how resource availability can be structured in terms of cost and supply.
