In this paper a two-level model and optimization algorithms are introduced
to assist forestry companies in simultaneously considering strategic invest
ment and tactical planning decisions. A procedure to reduce the discrepancy
produced in the aggregation and disaggregation process used to link these
two-level decisions is also presented. This procedure is based on both clus
ter analysis over economic parameters defined on "the stand macro-units to
be harvested" and on the information transmitted bottom-up and top-down bet
ween the strategic and tactical models. We also show a new approach for sol
ving the tactical mixed integer model.
