►The industry has changed rapidly in recent years, many of these changes have not yet been fully captured by cientific literature; hence, the changes are largely based on empirical information and general discussions. Most of the customers have grown and increased their requirements, both on physical products and logistics. Characteristically, the products have to be further processed after the sawing process, which is increasingly done by the sawmills. The Sawmilling Inventory from the years before and now shows that value adding operations such as cutting into exact lengths, strength grading, and making parts for building, furniture and joinery industries. Also, improved logistical solutions may be important for several customers, e.g. deliveries with time constraints, with small packages and bar coded products. Not only have changes encouraged closer cooperation between the sawmill and its customers, but also possibly the growth of companies. There is more exchange of information from user to producer has brought advantage to the sawmill, when making increasingly customized products.
