| Summary: | This study aims to develop a log production planning
model and to apply it at State-level planning. In the near
future,Malaysia will have to rely more and more on the
Permanent Forest Estate (PFE), after the State land forests have
all been converted for agricultural development. A more
efficient and effective log production planning model is
essential to ensure that the forestry sector continues to
contribute to the socio-econamic development of the country.
A log production planning model (LPPM) was developed,
consisting of a stand projection (STANDPROJ) model and a Linear
Programming (LP) (LOGPROD) model. Data for the models were collected fran the State of Negeri Sembilan. STANDPROJ
estimates forest yield which are used, together with forest
areas am forest management policies, to generate an LP
problem matrix in LOIUS spreadsheet. The matrix is accessed
am solved by an LP optimizer. The optimizer also transmits
the solution back to LOIUS which acts both as a matrix
generator and report writer. |
