Cooperative round wood transport
Abstract
The aim of the project is to improve the pulpwood supply chain for the haulier and wood purchasing stakeholder groups and to make the entire process more robust and efficient. In the project, specific measures to improve efficiency and resource conservation are defined for selected hauliers and the PHA a) and tested and improved in real processes. Typical measures include the establishment of two-way transport and the reduction of empty driving distances (to the next truck), active unloading management at the plant and the evaluation of broken transports between crane and articulated lorries, as well as the use of timber storage and handling areas. In area b) of qualification, a ‘timber driver’ ABC is to be developed in order to provide new drivers with solid training for the transport of round timber
