Citation:
The VISION decision simulator was developed to implement dynamic-programming-based improvements in raw materials returns at Weyerhaeuser. Operational benefits to date exceed $100 million in increased profits. In addition, management philosophy has been changed, and, with the recent weakening in forest product markets, VISION benefits have increased in importance. |
