Ce document a été préparé afin de répondre à l’appel fait en juin 2020 du Ministre des Finances du Québec aux groupes de recherche qu’il appuie financièrement afin que ceux-ci proposent, par l’entremise de résultats de recherche appliquée ou de documents de réflexion, des actions à privilégier pour accélérer la reprise, assurer une croissance économique durable, dynamiser les régions du Québec et résorber le déficit budgétaire à venir tout en maintenant un financement adéquat pour la santé et...
The traditional approach to plan the forest products value chain using a combination of sequential and hierarchical planning phases leads to suboptimal solutions. We present an integrated planning model to support forest planning on the long term with anticipation of the impacts on the economic and logistic activities in the forest value chain on a shorter term, and we propose a novel optimization approach that includes acceleration strategies to efficiently solve large-scale practical instan...
In order to beat the competition, access new markets, and respect operational, social, and environmental constraints, enterprises establish collaborations with many other business entities. Furthermore, with costs and information sharing, organizations have the opportunity to optimize their logistics activities. However, each enterprise has its own objectives and typically makes its own planning decisions to meet these objectives. Therefore, it becomes crucial to determine how business entiti...
Strategic forest management planning models designed to maintain existing carbon stocks and maximize capacity for future sequestration can help identify underused opportunities to increase carbon stocks without diminishing other forest products. This study proposed a carbon stock unit that allows summing up the stocks in the different forest pools even if the decomposition far exceeds the planning horizon. This unit is used to integrate the methods and algorithms from the Carbon Budget Model ...
