“…The USDA Forest Service was the source of timber inventory data (USDA 1996). Values for timber costs were obtained from a southern price reporting concern (University of Georgia, 1980-1997), McLaren (1995-1997, and various State Department of Natural Resources stumpage price reports.…”

This report lists wood-based panel industry plant locations, production capacities, timber inventories, and wood costs for 24 U.S. states. Industry sectors covered include mediumdensity fiberboard, particleboard, softwood plywood, and oriented strandboard. Maps of major forest producing states show plant locations and the underlying density of timber stocking by county. The study relates physical measures of timber availability to market measures of timber scarcity and draws inferences about the potential of selected states to increase timber output at their present rate of forest productivity.

“…OSBs, wood-based panel products are classified into four types ranging from general purpose boards to high load-bearing boards in the humid conditions according to the European Standard (EN 300: 2006). Oriented strand board has been produced as a structural panel material, replacing softwood plywood in North America since the early 1980s (Spelter et al,1997). OSB market is also growing worldwide, and it is expected a growth rate of nearly 28 % until 2022 (Ferro et al, 2018).…”

Optimization of process conditions in oriented strand board (OSB) manufacturing is a very important issue for both reducing cost and improving the quality of panels. Taguchi experimental design technique was applied to determination and optimization of the most influential controlling parameters of OSB panels such as press condition (pressure-time-temperature) and the ratio of adhesive parameters on modulus of elasticity (MOE). The value of the MOE is one of the very important mechanical properties of OSB panels. For this purpose, several experiments were conducted according to Taguchi L27 orthogonal design. The signal-to-noise (S/N) and the analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to find the optimum levels and to indicate the impact of the controlling parameters on MOE. A verification test was also performed to prove the effectiveness of Taguchi technique. Since the predicted and the measured values were very close to each other, it was concluded that the Taguchi method was very successful in the optimization of effective parameters in OSB’s manufacturing.

“…Hal ini karena seluruh bagian kayu diluruhkan menjadi serpihan kayu (chip) sehingga jumlah pohon yang dibutuhkan untuk produksi akan lebih sedikit. Spelter, Stone, & McKeever (1978) menjelaskan bahwa faktor penggunaan bahan baku untuk produksi mebel di Amerika Serikat adalah sebesar 1,85 untuk mebel dengan kayu solid atau untuk memproduksi 1 m 3 mebel membutuhkan bahan baku kayu solid sebesar 1,85 m 3 .…”
