Abstract

Two intertwined models used at Weyerhaeuser Company allow strategic and midterm planning of timberlands' harvests, flows to mills, and production of end products. These models combine dynamic programming and linear programming in a novel way. They have been used across the southern United States for several years, are currently applied to two million acres of pine forests, and have been instrumental in numerous changes in strategic and operational plans.
