Abstract

In this paper, specific notions regarding wood defects and quality conditions imposed on raw materials for veneer cutting are described. The case study focuses on identifying and analyzing defects on oak veneer for four regions: Târgovişte, Roşiori, Reşca and Băbeni. Based on this data, Pareto diagrams corresponding to each region were devised. These analyses allow making not only a hierarchy of the main defects but also decisions for improving the quality of the studied products.
