The development of decision support system for monitoring and evaluating forestry industry

Abstract

The revitalization of forestry industry has been established by Indonesian government in order to create industry which used material in such efficient way, to improve wood product value, and to control industry product capacity. This strategic way was held to overcome the i.ndustrial material problem regarding to the large imbalance between forest supply and industry raw material requirements. The first revitalization action was taken by monitoring and evaluating forestry industrial performance. Within current system of monitoring and evaluation, several problems have been identified. A Decision Support System (DSS) is proposed to improve the quality of governmental decision making. The proposed system has been built by processing spatial and non spatial data (forestry industry data reported) and creating a comprehensive way of monitoring the forestry industrial activities, providing a tool to evaluate industry performance, displaying an interactive map of forestry industry and supplier location and material distribution. The system has been tested and implemented on Department of Forestry.
