LandMark can provide strategic planning crucial to forest management
Strategic decisions in forest management regard the allocation of land, investment in cultural efforts, the existing inventory mix of species, ages and products, and fluctuating market conditions as essential components to determine the current and future productive capacity of the forest land base. Predicting the future value of yields against the costs incurred to produce them helps define what combinations of cultural practices (silvicultural regimes) are both biologically feasible and economically efficient. Balancing the needs of the enterprise with the productive capacity of the forest also requires flexibility in establishing harvest levels.
LandMark's strategic planning process is comprised of the following important steps:
- Define organizational objectives
- Organizational objectives
- Evaluate existing resource conditions
- Allocate land uses across resource base
- Determine resource productive capacity
- Review adequacy of existing land base, adjust as necessary
- Evaluate market conditions
- Calculate sustainable allowable harvest
- Monitor forest status and management results
Database Design & Development
LandMark has the experience and knowledge to meet all your database management needs
In order to store, edit, process and report all of the data that resides and is being collected in an organization, there is often the need for a database design and development process. Landmark Systems has extensive knowledge and experience in this area.
The Resource Decision Support System has a time-tested design that can easily be modified to fit within your organization's structure in a variety of formats (Oracle, SQL, etc.)
Operations Planning
Tactical Planning
LandMark can provide tactical planning to help you maximize your productivity
Given the nature of most forests, adjustment to the amount of growing stock to achieve a regular, ordered flow of market-ready material starts at the Stand Level. There, the arrangement of stands and the development of future products need to be monitored to predict future product (cash) flows. The sum of cultural costs to, and revenues from, stands are (in the aggregate) the major contributors to the achievement of strategic objectives, so, it is important to keep in mind the contribution of each stand treatment in the Forest Level view. Access to the right information will help to do that.
LandMark's Tactical Planning System involves the following:
- Refine & Prioritize Treatment Areas Allocated from Strategic Plan
- Stand Analysis and Prescription
- Budget Planning and Preparation
- Operations Preparation
- Silvicultural Operation Administration
