Simulating operational control of production in lumber house building businesses

Substantial reserves for higher operation efficiency in wooden house building businesses exist in improvements of production control system through methods of simulation and optimization. This report presents analysis of key factors of lumber house building processes that influence approaches to production control simulation. The need to factor in interconnection and dependence of lumber and house part production processes is highly difficult for operational control of the production system in question. The optimization mathematical models that we developed will help to solve the tasks of operational scheduling at all stages of wooden house manufacturing, from log cutting to production of finished assembly sets.
