An Operations Research Application In The Particleboard Industry, Selman Karayilmazlar, Erdal Balaban
Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry
In this study, a model was used for the optimization of product mix (the amounts of each product in the mixture) in particleboard industry by using linear programming. A theoretical model was constructed in which operations research methods and linear programming were applied to the maximization of the profit of a particleboard mill (KÖYKOBİR) as the consumer of industrial wood. To this end, 1993-1994-1995-1996 production, sales, stock quantities and costs as well as data related to capacities of the chipping, drying, pressing, sanding and gluing units were processed. Moreover, processing times of every product at these units were calculated. The …

Forestry operations take place under various variables and partly uncontrolled factors. The lack of mechanization level and its application cause quantity and quality losses during production. In this study, seven different production methods were used for felling, logging and barking to determine the best of production method for the Kale region. Seven different models were set up and solved by linear programming for this purpose. Each of these solutions were used with different production methods. Model 1 had the lowest production cost ($290779.5) in the other models and production method 6 was chosen in this model. Thus, felling, logging and …

Minimization Of The Transport Costs In Forestry By Linear Programing, Hafiz Hulusi̇ Acar, Altay Uğur Gül, Selçuk Gümüş
Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry
In forest management, transportation is a rather difficult, expensive and time-consuming activity. Transportation of logs from the forest to the landings has been achieved in various ways. Log transportation with minimum losses of quality and quantity and with minimum damage to the environment is a crucial matter in Turkey. The operation research methods for log operations have not been used in Turkey. The aim of this study was to minimize the total cost during logging operations by linear programming. Thirteen different models were set up and solved for minimization of total cost. Model 4 constituted the minimum cost. The minimum …
