A PC-based Decision Support System for Optimal Cutting of Logs in Veneers Production

We report on a user-friendly decision support system (DSS) for solving specific cutting stock problem from a smaller wood-processing company. A prototype DSS is developed for use in veneers production and is designed to aid mangers in create or improving existing tailoring of logs using their experience and preference s. The results of testing a typical cutting-stock problem are shown to point out how such DSS, which utilizes linear and mixed-integer programming, can reduce inventory costs and improves the exploitation of input material.
