1. Product Costing for Sawmill Business Management
Abstract : Several Swedish sawmill groups have recently developed product-costing systems to possibly compensate for diminishing production knowledge in recently centralized market organizations. The concept of product costs is challenging in sawmilling, since production is of a joint type – each log typically yields many products. READ MORE

2. Integrating the bucking operation with production control in sawmilling
Abstract : There is an ongoing shift in production strategy in the sawmill industry in Scandinavia from bulk production of standard grades towards customer- oriented production of well-defined products. The bucking operation places limits on the timber that can be sawn from the logs. Thus, it is important to be able to control the bucking process. READ MORE

3. An analysis of potential improvements within Lithuanian sawlog supply
Abstract : The wood supply from the forest to the industry is often characterized by high variability caused by the divergent structure of forest products, seasonality and uneven geographical distribution of forest resources and forest products industries. Based on previous knowledge on wood supply this thesis aimed to identify existing wood supply patterns and strategies in the Lithuanian state forest sector, to evaluate supply chain performance for sawmills and to examine potential improvements for roundwood transportation as well as handling operations at the sawmill.

4. Integrated strength grading
Abstract : This work comprises strength grading for structural timber according to European standards and prediction of grade-determining properties by various technologies and in various stages of the sawmilling process. The detection technologies applied on logs were outer shape scanning, laser scattering, x-ray scanning and resonance analysis. READ MORE

5. Four-dimensional computed tomography and image processing to investigate moisture in wood
Abstract : Kiln drying is the most energy-consuming operation in the industrial production of sawn timber and optimising the process is necessary to improve its efficiency. A key to achieving this is to speed up the drying, but this must not come at the cost of deteriorating the quality of the sawn timber. READ MORE
