Has statement Need flexible analytical tools - no "overdesigned" tool that provides too much features for the use
Has evidence It was decided to develop a highly detailed system in order that it could be used in the most complex forest management planning situations encountered in Ireland. The idea was that in simpler planning cases, the components that were not needed could be ignored. However, based on the most recent feedback from the management companies, the overall complexity of the system is off-putting and managers and consultants are apprehensive about the long learning curve associated with using the system.
Has consequences It assures that a plan obtains a preliminary step on certification process
Has recommendation for action Development of a 'light' version of the DSS, which could be used in 'simple' cases, with the option of users migrating to the detailed version as forest management problems become more complex in a maturing forest estate.
