development of the knowledge and
skills required to integrate and optimize
value creation networks in the forest
products industry by taking advantage
of the potential of new technologies
and electronic business models.

Canadian Industry Snapshot
 3% GDP
 Exports for 45 billion $ of lumber, pulp
and paper every year
 Contributing 60% to the net export of
Canada
 900 000 direct and indirect jobs
 More than 350 localities depend
economically on the industry

Québec
80% is public land
 The forests of the province
of Quebec cover
750 000 km², that is the
equivalent of Sweden and
Norway combined.
 It counts for 20 % of
forested land in Canada
and 2 % of all the world’s
forests.
 This is why the vast
majority of foreigners see
Quebec as a huge green
carpet.

• In North America, the link between consumption and real GDP is falling for all the
major grades of paper, but worst for newsprint.
• Even globally, the link between consumption and real GDP plateaued in the mid1990s.

Supply chain scheduling:
application to the lumber
industry
Basys’06, Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada, 2006
Scheduling
 Decide what to do, when to do it
and how to do it
 Support mixed mode: Pull & Push
– Satisfy demand (committed orders & contracts)
– Maximize throughput value
 Constraints:
– Planned available inventory
– Machine capacity (potential bottlenecks)

Finishing
 Co-Products Management:
– Finishing 1 product type can results in 11 different product types
simultaneously
– All of them can have demand: they are not by-products
 Campaign Optimization (Setup management)

(avoid local optimum et information
distortion)
Synchronization of decisions
Operation plans feasibility
(avoid plans that are not feasible)
Specialization of decisions
models and algorithms
Manufacturing and logistic Agility
(ability to re-plan quickly)
Decisions distribution and localization
where events must be managed
Basys’06, Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada, 2006
Raise the needs for tools
designed
 To evolve in a decentralized, dynamic and
specialized environment
 To support demand and supply propagation with
optimization (e.g. revenue management)
 To integrate real-time execution information
(e.g. event management systems, contingency
planning)
 To support collaboration (e.g. collaborative
workflows)

Definition of collaboration
 An intended cooperative action
between two or more entities that
exchange or share resources in order
to take decisions or pursue an activity
that will generate benefits or loss that
are to be shared.
From an intra-organizational perspective
all resources can be view as shareable resources
D’Amours et Frayret (2003)
Basys’06, Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada, 2006
Concepts of collaboration
 Main characteristics of inter-organizational
collaboration (from literature):
– Common goals and objectives, shared or jointly decided
Jacobs (2002)
– Implication of decision makers
–
–
–
Three important dimensions
of collaboration :
Mutual trust
Humain
Jacobs (2002)
Organisationnal
Through organisational structures
(strategy & process)
Pollard (2002)
Technology
Shared operation planning and execution
Pollard (2002)
Simatupang and Sridharan (2002), Jacobs (2002), Schrage (1990)
– Sharing of risk, rewards and responsibilities
Lambert and al. (1999)
– Be more efficient, get a competitive advantage

Frayret, D’Amours and D’Amours 2003
Basys’06, Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada, 2006
Value of collaboration
 What to share? Information sharing
– Information
– Product
– Antitrust law
 How to share? Collaboration mechanism
– Minimum cost solution
– Equal % of benefit (e.g. Shapley value, Nucleus, externalities, etc.)
– Equilibrium in between?
 How to motivate? Contract and incentive designs
– Premium
– Volume guarantee
Basys’06, Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada, 2006
Strategic game
 Precisely, a strategic game consists
of
– a set of players
– for each player, a set of actions (sometimes
called strategies)
– for each player, a payoff function that gives the
player's payoff to each list of the players'
actions.

Basys’06, Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada, 2006
There is always an
equilibrium where players
demonstrate collaborative
behavior.
This equilibrium is almost
always as good as the
minimum cost solution.

Moving toward collaboration
 Order based relationship
 Continous replenishment
– Transportation based
– Capacity based
 Vendor managed Inventory
 Collaborative planning, forecasting
