Wood processing companies are businesses that import (buy, harvest) raw materials, stems and logs, and export (deliver) products, assortments and boards, after a multi-step conversion process.The DSS, called IDEAS (Integral Decision Effect Analysis System), supports the operational, tactical and strategic level of decision making, by providing a range of tools of varying complexity.Various analyses have been made for validating the underlying models. A case study was performed to test the impact for the relevant business chain.Possible other fields of application can be the oil-industry, slaugther-houses, and in general cutting-stock performing industries. All these industrial circles share the package- production problem in common.
