¶ Integral FOLPI-XL estate-wide production modeling
Description: FOLPI-XL is an optimisation tool for evaluating forest management and investment strategies. It is intended to answer questions such as:
Should new land be brought for afforestation?
Should more forests be bought and, if so, what will their likely value be?
What silvicultural regimes should be implemented?
What volume of wood should be harvested?
Should land be replanted after clear-felling?
What is the current value of my forest estate?
(FOLPI is an acronym for Forest-Oriented Linear Programming Interpreter)
FOLPI-XL uses familiar Microsoft Excel worksheets to describe the current resource and the criteria that define the company’s management strategy. The solution will be optimized to achieve either maximum NPV, or maximum timber production. The results of the analysis, such as expected wood-flow or cash-flow are also presented in Excel worksheets
