Agile operations management for market-driven wood processing industry

本研究的目标是开发一套流程、方法和决策支持技术，用于客户需求驱动的不同木材加工系统的敏捷运营管理。更具体地说，我们的目标是实现五个目标：1)提出流程、算法和决策支持工具，允许负责采购、生产和分销的管理团队共同建立协调的销售和运营计划（S&OP），以抓住市场机会（重点是商品产品，在战术层面）。2)开发一种在合作生产和产品流发散的情况下建立最佳产品组合的方法（特种产品；战术层面）。3)创建决策支持工具，为干燥和整理操作（特种产品；操作级别）执行实时计划/重新计划。4)开发一个模型，实时预测如果在特定工厂（采购、生产、战术和操作层面）处理给定的日志，将生产出的每种成品的数量。5)以一体化的视角，设计一个运营管理框架，说明如何将算法、人员和决策过程结合起来，以便在动态环境（采购、生产、销售、战术和运营层面）中最大化组织的绩效。

The goal of this research is to develop a set of processes, methods, and decision-support technologies, for agile operations management in divergent wood processing systems driven by customer demand. More specifically, we aim to achieve five objectives:1) To propose processes, algorithms, and decision-support tools allowing a management team in charge of procurement, production, and distribution, to collectively establish coordinated sales and operations plans (S&OP) for capturing market opportunities (the focus is on commodity products, at the tactical level).2) To develop a method to establish the optimal mix of products in the context of coproduction and divergent product flow (specialty products; tactical level).3) To create decision-support tools performing real-time planning/replanning for drying and finishing operations (specialty products; operational level).4) To develop a model predicting, in real time, the volume of each finished product that would be produced if a given log was processed at a specific plant (procurement; production; tactical and operational level).5) With an integrated vision, to design an operations management framework stating how to combine algorithms, humans, and decision processes in order to maximize the performance of the organization in a dynamic environment (procurement; production; sales; tactical and operational level).
