Abstract EN

We reviewed 153 peer-reviewed sources to provide identification of modern supply chain management techniques and exploration of supply chain modeling, to offer decision support to managers.

Ultimately, the review is intended to assist member-companies of supply chains, mainly producers, improve their current management approaches, by directing them to studies that may be suitable for direct application to their supply chains and value chains for improved efficiency and profitability.

We found that information on supply chain management and modeling techniques in general is available.

However, few Canadian-based published studies exist regarding a demand-driven modeling approach to value/supply chain management for wood pellet production.

Only three papers were found specifically on wood pellet value chain analysis.

We propose that more studies should be carried out on the value chain of wood pellet manufacturing, as well as demand-driven management and modeling approaches with improved demand forecasting methods.
