A case study is presented to illustrate how pulpwood inventory profiles and inventory costs at the mill, at the roadside, and at a concentration yard can be analysed and optimized by way of computer simulation. A model, pertinent to the operational environment of the forest products company examined, was developed to account for various inventory holding costs and shortage costs, and allowed for a realistic week-by-week simulation of the Company's wood procurement and wood consumption activities.
