General System description

System name: Heureka PlanWise

Brief overview

PlanWise is a comprehensive application for forestry planning in Sweden. It is part of the Heureka system. It can be used for both small-scale and large-scale analysis and supports both strata-basad and spatially explicit analysis. The two main components are a built-in optimization modelling system for LP and MIP problems, and a treatment program generator for enumerating alternative management regimes. PlanWise isdesigned to handle wood production .
