Purpose of Review

This paper aims to provide a comprehensive but concise review of the various quantitative methods, in particular, optimization techniques, for the efficient management and control of complex forest biomass supply chains. The review is structured around a top-down hierarchical planning approach that includes strategic, tactical, and operational decisions. At each planning level, the review presents and analyses the problem to be solved, the solution (optimization) methods, and the various aspects to take into consideration for the successful implementation and use of these methods by biomass supply chain planners.

Recent Findings

Forest biomass constitutes one of the various sources of renewable energy with the potential to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels and greenhouse gas emissions. Fo rest biomass supply chains are systems with complex network designs consisting of many supply, demand, and intermediate points where the biomass is collected, stored, processed, and transported. The complexity of these supply chains as well as various factors impact the effective supply of forest-based biomass. For example, the biomass characteristics (e.g., energy content or quality), the variability in the market and economic conditions, and processing of the biomass are the main factors. The complexity requires a good understanding of the methods that exist to manage and optimize forest biomass supply chains.

Summary

Although substantial research has been done around forest biomass supply chain management and optimization, future research should focus on developing integrated frameworks that allow the optimization of biomass supply chains at the strategic, tactical, and operational level. These studies should also explore and propose approaches for the successful implementation of the proposed optimization methods.

管理和优化森林生物质供应链的方法:综述

审查目的

本文旨在为有效管理和控制复杂森林生物量供应链的各种定量方法(尤其是优化技术)提供一个全面而简洁的综述。该审查围绕自上而下的分层计划方法进行,该方法包括战略,战术和运营决策。在每个计划级别,审查都提出并分析了要解决的问题,解决方案(优化)方法以及生物质供应链计划者成功实施和使用这些方法的各个方面。

最近的发现

森林生物质构成可再生能源的多种来源之一,具有减少化石燃料消耗和温室气体排放的潜力。其余的生物质供应链是具有复杂网络设计的系统,包括许多供应,需求和中间点,在这些中间点收集,存储,加工和运输生物质。这些供应链的复杂性以及各种因素都会影响森林生物质的有效供应。例如,生物质特征(例如,能量含量或质量),市场和经济条件的可变性以及生物质的加工是主要因素。复杂性要求对现有的管理和优化森林生物量供应链的方法有很好的了解。

概要

尽管已经围绕森林生物质供应链的管理和优化进行了大量研究,但未来的研究应侧重于开发允许在战略,战术和运营层面优化生物质供应链的集成框架。这些研究还应该探索并提出成功实施所提出的优化方法的方法。
