Goal Programming for Forest Management

Key Points

Goal programming effectively minimizes deviations from quantitative goals in decision-making processes.
The model is a refined approach based on traditional linear programming, addressing its limitations.
The paper includes a practical example showcasing the application of goal programming in forest management.
Adopting goal programming can lead to better planning and optimization in managing forest resources.

Abstract

Abstract Goal programming is a mathematical procedure for the determination of a plan of action which offers a minimum aggregate deviation from a set of quantitative goals. The method is a modification of conventional linear programming and is motivated by two major weaknesses of that more familiar technique. This paper presents the technical details of the goal programming model, a review of its published use, and an illustration of a possible application to a forest management problem. Forest Sci. 19:125-135.
