For the foreseeable future the hardwood production network has an advantage due to the increasing availability of resources. The main challenge is to integrate the upcoming volume of raw material i...
Highlights
In Europe, hardwood is becoming an increasing component of forests and this could benefit the hardwood production network.Within this supply network, one of the main challenges is the integration of the growing volume of the raw material into existing production supply networks with their production facilities for sustainable value-creation
It is technically possible to manufacture laminated beech wood products, there is a lack of research on the strategic planning of a solid hardwood supply network, especially within a network that is specialized in other product types
Material and methods In order to create a flexible production concept with the lowest supply network costs which satisfies the demand of the two hardwood product markets, a process flow chart is firstly developed with additional production process flows
Summary
In Europe, hardwood is becoming an increasing component of forests and this could benefit the hardwood production network. Within this supply network, one of the main challenges is the integration of the growing volume of the raw material into existing production supply networks with their production facilities for sustainable value-creation. In the last two decades, the sub-sectors of industrial roundwood and fuelwood have steadily developed. This is not the case for the solid hardwood sector where individual and innovative utilization concepts are still absent. Teischinger, and Gronalt (2019) provided data to the solid hardwood business and develop a mixed-integer linear programming to design a laminated beech wood supply network
