The pulp and paper industry converts roundwood and recycled fibre, collected from wastepaper into printing and writing papers, and other specialty grades of paper. The pulp and paper mills in Ontario have been facing extreme competitive pressures, which have affected their performance leading to several mill closures. The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the relative performance of three types of Ontario's pulp and paper mills (using all fibre, only roundwood fibre, and only recycled fibre). This study uses bootstrap data envelopment analysis in analyzing and comparing the operational efficiency of the Ontario's pulp and paper mills, with 224 sample data observations over a period of 17 years. The results indicate low levels of overall technical and managerial efficiencies in the pulp and paper mills using recycled fibre. The results of the study highlight that the pulp and paper industry needs to divert their attention to streamlining the manufacturing processes, reducing costs, improving raw material usage, and making capital investments in the new and improved technology, in order to improve the operational efficiency and competitiveness of the Ontario's pulp and paper mills. The pulp and paper mills using recycled fibre require huge capital investments, especially for installing the latest de-inking technology. The results of this study provide policy makers with detailed performance analysis so that future input resources can be reallocated to improve the performance of the pulp and paper mills in Ontario.

使用数据包络分析比较安大略省的圆木和再生纤维纸浆和造纸厂的性能

纸浆和造纸工业将废纸中收集的原木和再生纤维转化为印刷纸和书写纸以及其他特殊等级的纸张。安大略省的纸浆和造纸厂一直面临极大的竞争压力,这影响了它们的性能,导致数家工厂关闭。这项研究的目的是评估和比较安大略省三种类型的纸浆和造纸厂的相对性能(使用所有纤维,仅圆木纤维和仅再生纤维)。这项研究使用引导程序数据包络分析来分析和比较安大略省纸浆和造纸厂的运营效率,并在17年内对224个样本数据进行了观察。结果表明,使用再生纤维的纸浆和造纸厂的总体技术和管理效率较低。研究结果表明,制浆和造纸行业需要将注意力转移到精简制造流程,降低成本,改善原材料使用以及对新技术和改进技术进行资本投资上,以提高运营效率和效率。安大略省纸浆和造纸厂的竞争力。使用再生纤维的纸浆和造纸厂需要大量的资本投资,特别是对于安装最新的脱墨技术。这项研究的结果为政策制定者提供了详细的绩效分析,以便将来的投入资源可以重新分配以提高安大略省纸浆和造纸厂的绩效。降低成本,改善原材料使用率以及对新技术和改进技术进行资本投资,以提高安大略省纸浆和造纸厂的运营效率和竞争力。使用再生纤维的纸浆和造纸厂需要大量的资本投资,特别是对于安装最新的脱墨技术。这项研究的结果为政策制定者提供了详细的绩效分析,以便将来的投入资源可以重新分配以提高安大略省纸浆和造纸厂的绩效。降低成本,改善原材料使用率以及对新技术和改进技术进行资本投资,以提高安大略省纸浆和造纸厂的运营效率和竞争力。使用再生纤维的纸浆和造纸厂需要大量的资本投资,特别是对于安装最新的脱墨技术。这项研究的结果为政策制定者提供了详细的绩效分析,以便将来的投入资源可以重新分配以提高安大略省纸浆和造纸厂的绩效。特别是用于安装最新的脱墨技术。这项研究的结果为政策制定者提供了详细的绩效分析,以便将来的投入资源可以重新分配以提高安大略省纸浆和造纸厂的绩效。特别是用于安装最新的脱墨技术。这项研究的结果为政策制定者提供了详细的绩效分析,以便将来的投入资源可以重新分配以提高安大略省纸浆和造纸厂的绩效。
