Description:
Procedures are described which estimate the locational advantages of mill sites in terms of wood procurement costs and the relative competition among mills in a region. At the heart of the process a transportation matrix links individual harvestable timber stands to mill locations in the region. The procedures estimate delivered wood cost curves for individual mills or mill sites, and indices that measure the degree of competition for wood among mills. The procedures arc completely automated. They enable planners to examine the impact of different demand scenarios in terms of relative ability of mills to obtain wood.
