Flexible Wood Supply Chain (FlexWood)
Start date: Nov 1, 2009, End date: Oct 31, 2012,
A number of studies indicate that the market demand for wood will lead to strong competition between the different wood industry branches. This is especially true in view of a globalised wood market, in which production is characterised by fast structural changes and concentration processes. Competition between different wood industries and the development towards large production units, as well a ...
