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，敏捷运营管理在不同的木材加工系统驱动的客户需求。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，使负责采购、生产和分销的管理团队能够共同制定协调的销售和运营计划（S&OP）捕捉市场机会（重点是战术一级的商品）。2）制定一种方法，在联合生产和分散产品流动的情况下确定最佳产品组合（特殊产品;战术级）。3）创建决策支持工具，执行干燥和精整操作的实时计划/重新计划4）开发一个模型，以真实的时间预测如果在特定工厂加工给定原木将生产的每个成品的体积（采购;生产;战术和作战水平）。5）具有综合的愿景，设计一个作战管理框架，说明如何将联合收割机算法、人和决策过程，以最大限度地提高组织在动态环境中的绩效（采购;生产;销售;战术和运营层面）。

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).
