A new, deterministic methodology for simultaneous solution of the scheduling and allocation problems based on methods developed for multiple-criteria decision making is proposed. Seven steps for the use of multiple-criteria decision making techniques are reviewed, and the details of the proposed application to area-based harvest scheduling and forest land allocation are presented. The approach was used in a sample, hypothetical problem in which harvest schedules and allocations were developed for three competitors, using three decision criteria and two sets of criteria weights. The results indicate that the new method provides an effective alternative to traditional methods and offers numerous advantages including the explicit consideration of multiple objectives.
