Mill Production Output and Management

This pdf contains a great article regarding decision making in milling production from logs. It also contains an example of an overcomplication of simple concepts. Overall, the article is useful and touches on many of the factors milling managers need to take into account when making production decisions.

While there are many exceptional professionals in the lumber industry, the kind of material in this article should be displayed in a more easily understood format.

  1. SPB can cause a lot of damage and loss. Unfortunately, the only measures of fighting it are to fell all of the trees in an infection center. Detecting infection centers early is the key. Easier said than done.

    I have heard that some furniture makers like the blue color from fungi that colonize beetle infected wood. Yet to hear of an actual market for it though....
