Abstract
Development of forest operations and supply chain efficiency prior to the 2000s was primarily driven by productivity and production gains, largely through the introduction of mechanised harvesting and increased truck capacities. In more recent years, there has been a strong focus on optimising the value realised in the operations. This focus on value remains a priority across the forest industry through the development and deployment of technology and through increased interest in better use and integration of the full range of data available to maximise resource value. In addition to existing data and information sources, access to new detailed sources will unlock opportunities to further increase value. The flexibility inherent in much of the new technology and sensors being adopted for forest business use will also allow them to service multiple purposes in the business (e.g. measure road side stocks and detailed quality assessments of road and drainage infrastructure).
