Supply chain planning of harvest operations and transportation after the storm Gudrun
Håkan Broman, Mikael Frisk ()
and Mikael Rönnqvist ()
Abstract: The storm Gudrun hit southern Sweden in January 2005 and
approximately 70 million cubic meters of forest was wind felled. The
existing logistic planning at forest companies in the damaged area had to
be changed over night. There was a direct shortage of both harvest and
transportation capacities. Key questions that arised were which terminals
to use, where to harvest, where to store, which transportation modes
(truck, train, ship) to use. In this paper we describe how the forest
company Sveaskog made use of Operations Research (OR) as an important
decision support in their supply chain planning in the aftermath of the
storm.
