Abstract | This paper examines the suitability of supply chain management (SCM) as a methodology for examining forestry development options in north Queensland – both industrial and farm – with particular emphasis on hoop pine. SCM has been defined from different perspectives by various authors and some of the alternative definitions of SCM are given. SCM is then placed in the context of the north Queensland timber industry focusing on the current structure and participants and the factors that need to be considered to make the supply chain for hoop pine more efficient. This highlights the need for a broader and more extensive supply chain for the north Queensland timber industry. Facilitation of a broader supply chain requires the development of mechanisms to improve cooperation between supply chain participants. This includes the expansion of the hoop pine resource area, value-adding processes, and improved information flows. The goal of research in progress is to develop a framework to facilitate a diverse multilayered supply chain for hoop pine that will promote a north Queensland industry that is economically and environmentally viable. |
