Abstract

The Training and Remanufacturing System (TRSys) is a new training tool for teaching both hardwood lumber grading and remanufacturing of lower grade boards into smaller boards of higher total value. TRSys is based on the HaLT2, ReGS, and enhanced HaRem computer programs. The most important feature of this new program is its ablilty to evaluate remanufacturing beyond simple edging and trimming. Provided the result is an increase in value, up to four boards can be remanufactured from one large board. The TRSys program, like the HaLT2 and HaRem programs, is limited to processing rectangular boards.
