Washington, USA
Abstract
Poor log-making is the leading cause for value
lost. To improve value recovery, Carter Holt Harvey has
adopted the IFR Timbertech System. The system is designed
to increase value recovery by improving the log manufacturing process by
placing a log optimisation tool on the landing. The Timbertech
system yields additional value from the stem and log data collected during
the process. This data has numerous used including marketing, but its main
use is to audit the log-making process for each log-maker on each crew.
