        date: 2022
       words: 10939
      flesch: 47
     summary: In general, manufacturing system design can be presented as a generic stage-gate process, involv- ing several phases and related activities (Bellgran & Säfsten, 2010). Although the accounts of the process of manufacturing system design that can be found in the literature present some differences in their structures and in the terminology used, it is possible to identify some common elements.

      flesch: 54
     summary: Prior studies of wood product manufacturers have identified potential economic benefits (Chen et al. 2011, Bowers et al. 2012): improved access to domestic and export markets (Yu and Xiao 2004, Chen et al. 2011, Tolunay and Türkoglu 2014); gain- ing or maintaining a competitive advantages over their counterparts (Chen et al. 2011, Montague 2011, Bowers et al. 2012); increasing customer awareness (Chen et al. 2011, Montague 2011); and enhancing CSR (Chen et al. 2011), corporate image, recognition, and reliability (Chen et al. 2011, Faggi et al. 2014, Paluš and Kaputa 2009) as reasons for adopting certified forest products. Housing developers are considered to have the same challenges as wood product manufacturers for adopting certified wood products.

     summary: Across both technologies, there was more techno-optimism than techno-skepticism in social media discourse. The findings reveal that social media content is generally more optimistic and less critical of these technologies compared to the academic literature, with a notable lack of discussion on the potential social and environmental consequences.

     summary: In concrete terms, our deductive analy- sis of the literature on innovation support enabled the initial identification of four key themes for the analysis, including the involvement of instructions in general, as well as the three forms of support. As monetary policy is generally not targeted or prevalent for NWFPs (Ludvig et al., 2016), the development of regional brands and labels, including the fostering of excellence standards through specific sustainable features of products, can be a valuable way of strengthening such innovations.

     summary: From the perspective of authority, according to Säynäjoki et al. (2014), in Finland urban planners have significant opportunities to advance sustainable de- velopment through land use management decisions. A ruling by the Supreme Administrative Court (KHO 2015:56) in Finland is particularly interesting when viewed from the possibility of enhancing material selection criteria in urban planning processes by setting requirements for specific building materials (Franzini et al. 2018).

     summary: To fully understand how consumers use social media during the wood product purchasing process, this study: (1) identified the type(s) of social media sites/apps used in the wood product purchasing process, (2) identi- fied and described how and why consumers use social media, (3) identified and described the perceptions held about social media and traditional media, (4) identified and described key factors that influence and motivate consumers to buy wood products on social media and (5) examined the effectiveness of social media during the wood purchasing decision process. However, until recently, there has been limited research regarding social media in the U.S. wood products industry.

     summary: Results from this survey show that, overall, a major- ity of participating firms have operated for less than 10 years, and that reclaimed wood firms tend to operate at higher capacities than urban wood firms, many of which have less than 10 employees. Differences were rather large, with 63.9% of urban wood firms, 43.6% of mixed-source firms, and 17.1% of reclaimed wood firms ranking capitalize on low-cost raw materials as “Important” or “Extremely important.”
