Abstract: Harvest operations have provided many important operations research (OR) applications. The harvesting process incorporates decisions on areas to harvest, how to buck (or cross cut) trees to obtain demanded products by length and diameter, how to locate harvesting machinery, how to build and maintain roads to haul away logs, and how to distribute and stock logs. We discuss how OR has impacted successfully on these decision processes.
