Optimization models are increasingly developed for planning and scheduling natural resources manufacture. However, the uncertainty of material from natural resources makes it more difficult to develop a model. In this paper, we concern on the cost of dry timber preparation to finishing sections in a wood-board manufacturer. Based on the characteristic of the material and wood-board production process, we develop two models to a minimize transportation and production cost of wood supply chain which is consist of dry timber preparation process after the sawing process. The models consider facilities capacity, the distance between facilities and drying periods based on timber specification. The model is solved using linear programming, result in drying allocation on the chamber in kiln dry with a minimum cost of the process. A sensitivity analysis is conducted to verify the models and show the effect of variation of two parameters to the objective value. The results show varies of external capacity of kiln dry is more sensitive to total cost than varies of internal capacity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
