Flexible Wood Supply Chain (FLEXWOOD)
Project
Project code: 245136
Contract period: 01.11.2009
- 31.10.2012
Budget: 2,990,000 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research
A number of studies indicate that the market demand for wood will lead to strong competition between the different wood industry branches. This is especially true in view of a globalised wood market, in which production is characterised by fast structural changes and concentration processes. Competition between different wood industries and the development towards large production units, as well as an often highly diversified forest owner structure, demands a flexible delivery of varying wood quantities and quality. This leads to high cost, which weakens the position of the European wood industry within a global market. In addition, hazardous environmental events, such as wind throws, forest fires or beetle attacks, have increased during the past years.
