Dear IUFRO Division 5 members,
I am pleased to announced that the IUFRO Working Party 5.04.13 Industrial Engineering, Operations Analysis and Logistics is planning to publish a quarterly Newsletter beginning in July 2015. The goal of this newsletter is to provide with up to date information on all aspects related to Industrial Engineering research applied to wood products. The broad themes that the newsletter will cover are:
Process Automation in Forest Products industries including robotics, computer numerical controlled (CNC) and programmable logic controllers (PLC) integration
Machine Vision and Scanning Technology applications
Production Planning and Control in forest and wood products industries
Optimization and Simulation models in logistics and manufacturing processes
Software developments such as ERP, MRP, CAM, CAD
Supply Chain Management models in forest and wood products industries
Ergonomics and Organizational Safety in Forest Products Industries
Life Cycle Costing (LCC) for Forest Products
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) applications in the forest products value-chain
Statistical Process Control (SPC) developments
Product Development Engineering
Continuous Improvement Initiatives including Lean Management, Six Sigma, Kaizen, and Total Quality Management
Keep in mind that IUFRO offers a holistic platform where cultural diversity, social awareness, environmental impact, and economic development are disseminated in a unique and powerful structure. The breadth of knowledge that is being generated from faculty and students around the World in Industrial Engineering research is outstanding at all levels. This newsletter will be a great window to showcase your ongoing research, teaching, and extension activities related to the IUFRO Working Party 5.04.13 to the World.
Acceptable contributions are in the form of research updates, success histories, event announcements, available scholarships, awards received, grants announcements, and editorial opinions on relevant topics to the Working Party. Submissions should include a picture or figure (if possible), a narrative of less than 300 words, and contact information.
If you would like to be a contributor to this new exciting newsletter please contact Dr. Henry Quesada at quesada(a)vt.edu. Should you have any questions, please contact Dr. Quesada on your earliest convenience.
Sincerely,
Henry Quesada, Coordinator

Subject: Call for papers on Forests and Food Security - reminder deadline 31 January
----- Call for Papers for Special Issue of Environmental Conservation on 'Forests and Food Security' -----
The aim of this thematic issue is to provide a forum for research that explores the different ways in which forests and agroforestry systems can be managed as food provisioning systems, in addition to their existing contributions to the conservation landscape. Potential audiences for this contribution include scholars and policy makers working in forest and related sectors, as well as those working in the areas of food and nutrition security both locally and internationally. A reminder that the deadline for the submission of papers is 31 January 2015. Details are attached.
