Using flow simulation as a decision tool for improvements in sawmill productivity

We developed a sawmill fl ow simulation model to identify production bottlenecks and determine where productivity improvements could be made. Sawmills often invest in a new machine center and then find out that the processing bottleneck just moves somewhere else. Our approach was specifically design...
