The building sector is increasingly identified as being energy and carbon intensive. Although the majority of emissions are linked to energy usage during the operation part of a building’s life cycle, choice of construction materials could play a significant role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental end-point damages. Increasing the use of wood products in buildings may contribute to the solution, but their environmental impacts are difficult to assess and quantify ...
An accounting system helps to provide information for planning and control of production. This article presents a Life Cycle Costing by using an Activity Based Costing approach of an innovative forestry company. In order to perform a cradle-to-gate assessment the study covers the forest and industrial activities of the forest product processing. The costs of each product in the portfolio are determined by the treatment activities they undergo. The inventory covers several years of activity of...
Agent-based systems have been employed in the Supply Chain Management field since the 1990s. In spite of its appealing and extensive use in both research and practice, the agent technology and its integration with advanced supply chain planning and scheduling tools still represent an emergent field with many open research questions. Particularly, the literature fails to provide an integrated framework to identify, model and conduct simulation experiments covering the whole simulation cycle. I...
In this research project, we developed a framework for describing different wood supply chains (WSC) in a generic way and assessing their agility and tailoring capabilities. The studied WSC comprises the planning and execution, at the operational level, of all activities, from selling agreements to delivery of forest products at the mill yard. required by the environment’s uncertainties are compared and discussed. Finally, tailoring capabilities were assessed, based on the location of the...
