Timber Products
Timber products often have to cover huge distances from the point of origin to the place for further processing and then to final destination. Narrow roads to inaccessible harvesting sites pose a hurdle to plan transportation and utilization of equipment efficiently; moreover, as timber wood is perishable so moisture with heat and insect attacks may damage the fibers in the wood during long transits. Supply chain needs for transporting timber products to key markets requires comprehensive planning, short lead times, stock optimization, special cargo handling, and professional care.
