Assessing the wood-basket and characterizing Michigan's logging businesses by their reliance on nonindustrial private forests for stumpage

The development of the forest industry is one of the important goals of state policy. The purpose of the work was to study certain aspects of the efficiency of Russian forest industry enterprises in the context of rational environmental management and to develop a graphical model for its improvement. The main research methods are analytical, modeling, and statistical data processing. As a result, information was obtained on the current level of efficiency of production of forest industry key products by regions of the country. The development of the model was based on the general hypothesis of the study, that expanding the depth of wood biomass processing while reducing the negative impact on the environment leads to increased efficiency and sustainable development of enterprises in the forest industry. The proposed model demonstrates certain aspects of the interaction of forest industry enterprises with the environment. The most important elements of this model are waste-free production and the deep processing production, based, among other things, on the use of waste from the main production. To increase the efficiency of forest industry enterprises, it is extremely important to develop and implement environmental management measures.

Competitiveness is one of the key characteristics for any commercial enterprise. This parameter is determined by many indicators and factors. At the same time, the most important condition for competitive advantages is the efficiency of various processes. The purpose of the work was to develop a model for increasing the competitiveness of enterprises in the forest industry. To achieve it, a set of tasks was solved using traditional research methods (static analysis, literature analysis, modeling). As a result, the key factors influencing the competitiveness of the timber industry enterprise were identified. These include a variety of resources, the external environment and internal capabilities that determine pricing policy. The paper presents a detailed analysis of these factors and their role in improving the efficiency of the studied objects. It is determined that resource conservation, adaptation and optimization of these factors are key to improving competitiveness. The developed model generalizes the presented approach and, when used, leads to an increase in the competitiveness of timber enterprises.

The paper presents the results of scientific research of certain features of wood resources processing at the enterprises of the forest industry. Considering that the forest industry is actively developing, the volumes of processed raw materials are increasing, the amount of generated secondary wood resources (waste) is increasing. The purpose of the work is to identify some key features of their use. For this purpose, the analysis of literary sources was used. Practical experience of domestic and foreign timber companies was also considered. As a result, a significant lag of the Russian timber industry from foreign best practices was revealed. In particular, the volume of manufactured products is significantly inferior to those of timber reserves and processed raw materials. This is due to the low share of participation and efficiency in the utilization of secondary wood resources. Another important conclusion was that the main problem in terms of the secondary wood resources utilization is to find optimal ways of using secondary wood raw materials. Significant volumes of wood waste generation in various technological processes were shown. Separate requirements were revealed and demonstrated to the initial raw materials to obtain products from the raw materials of wood. An important outcome was that the higher feedstock requirements of large-scale production facilities were identified. Smaller production facilities are often more flexible and adaptable to the available resources.
