A value creation network encompasses all of the companies and business units that are implicated in the supply, production and distribution of a product that is destined for a particular market. Some of the major issues at stake in the management of a value creation network are the integration and coordination of operations among the different business units and companies involved in the network.The proposed research program focuses on part of the network extending from wood procurement to manufacturing with special attention to the log yard. The objectives include identifying and modeling cost drivers, identifying best practices in yard management, and evaluating gains from greater integration and coordination among the forest-yard-mill decisions. The objectives will be pursued through the completion of three Master degree projects.This proposal represents a gateway into the new field of inventory management and handling in the forest products industry. It proposes innovations in sorting and inventory strategies for value creation, the development of inventory control strategies to better coordinate yard and mill operations, and identification of best-practices in inventory management and handling.The forest industry needs various forms of expertise if they wish to efficiently conceive and direct their own value creation network. This proposal contributes towards the training of highly qualified personnel in a field that has been studied very little in the forest industry.

价值创造网络包括所有参与供应、生产和分销面向特定市场的产品的公司和业务单位。在价值创造网络的管理中，最重要的问题是网络中不同业务部门和公司之间的业务整合和协调。本研究计划的重点是从木材采购到制造的网络部分，特别关注原木堆场。其目标包括识别和建模成本驱动因素，确定最佳实践在院子里管理，并评估收益从更大的整合和协调之间的森林庭院磨决策。这些目标将通过完成三个硕士学位项目来实现。该提案代表了进入森林产品行业库存管理和处理新领域的门户。它提出了价值创造的分类和库存策略创新，库存控制策略的发展，以更好地协调堆场和工厂的运作，并确定库存管理和处理的最佳实践。林业需要各种形式的专业知识，如果他们希望有效地构思和指导自己的价值创造网络。这项建议有助于在森林工业很少研究的领域培训高素质的人员。
