Results and discussion: Modifications to the production flow were proposed because factors B, C and D significantly increased (P = 0.1) the production level (logs per shift); the increases over the sawmill’s initial condition were 13 and 18 % for lengths of 2.5 and 5.0 m, respectively.
Conclusion: Simulation and experimental design can be applied in small and medium-sized sawmills to improve production when processing logs without diameter sorting.
