Abstract

The applications of Operations Research techniques in forestry and forest industries are numerous. The most widely used mathematical models are: linear programming, integer programming. goal programming, dynamic programming, network analysis, and computer simulation. The demand for improved efficiency, combined with multiple-use requirements, and the availability of computers, will result in a continuing increase of the use of Operations Research in natural resource managerial decision-making.
