The role of digital technologies for fostering sustainability and efficiency in forest-based
supply chains is well acknowledged and motivated several studies in the scope of precision …

In the forest industry, transportation accounts for a significant part of the operational costs.
Reducing transportation costs through advanced planning and improved efficiency has …

Abstract Over the years, Operational Research (OR) has been used extensively to support
the forest products industry and public forestry organizations (eg, governments …

In this paper, we consider an operational routing problem to decide the daily routes of
logging trucks in forestry. This industrial problem is difficult and includes aspects such as …

This paper describes operational research (OR) contributions in forestry over the past 50
years, based on scientific pathways along which the authors have traveled. We draw on our …

Transportation of forest products accounts as a major contributor to the total operational
costs; hence, its optimization has become an important aspect in supply chain planning …

The search for higher efficiency in transportation planning processes in real life applications
is challenging. The synchronisation of different vehicles performing interrelated operations …

We present a synchronized routing and scheduling problem that arises in the forest industry,
as a variation of the log-truck scheduling problem. It combines routing and scheduling of …

Today, timber trucks of gross vehicle weight (GVW) up to 76 tonnes are allowed to operate
on Finnish roads from roadside landings to mills. Reducing trucking costs and exhaust gas …

Sažetak The transport of timber and biomass represents a significant proportion of the
operational cost for the forest industry worldwide. This calls for optimization solutions so that …
