Modern small logging enterprises exporting timber
primarily by lorry transport do not have resources for
implementing research that contributes to reducing
the cost of this type of transport. Besides, there is no
universal and accessible planning methodology and
operative decision-making in the organization of
timber export by lorry transport. Because of this, the
author of the article has proposed a methodology for
improving international timber transportation by
timber trucks. This methodology contains logging
modeling simulation, as well as analysis and contain
of different options of logging. Within the framework
of this methodology, a unique model based on the
discrete event simulation has been developed. This
model simulates a full cycle of timber transportation
from the terminal to several foreign consumers. The
working capacity of the model was verified by
simulating several export scenarios based on data
obtained during field study at one of the logging
enterprises, the annual logging volume of which is
400 thousand cubic meters. The analysis and
comparison of the modeling results have confirmed
the possibility of using this methodology in planning
and organizing international timber transportation for
small logging enterprises
The article gives an example of usage of the tool for round-wood transport planning from the Decision Support System “Forest Logistic Toolset” for com-pare of two approaches to the organization of international wood transportation
