April 10, 2006
Richmond, B.C. – 3LOG Systems Inc. announced today that seven mills in six locations in
the Arkansas and Oklahoma region went “live” on March 27, 2006 with
LIMS
and WeighWiz
inventory software.
On October 31, 2005, seven mills in Northern Louisiana successfully
implemented 3LOG’s LIMS and WeighWiz, as did four mills in the
Mississippi/Louisiana area on November 28, 2005. 3LOG and Weyerhaeuser were able to
stay on schedule despite Hurricane Katrina’s interference.
Darryl Kimak, 3LOG Systems’ Project Manager reports,
“Weyerhaeuser and 3LOG employees work as a single cohesive team to implement and
support LIMS and WeighWiz across the regions. Everyone worked together through
aggressive implementation timelines to install the systems transparently and on schedule
to the businesses.”
LIMS and WeighWiz are “great products”
Jerry Mounts, Weyerhaeuser Southern Timberlands Financial Manager, made the
following comments about 3LOG’s products and service:
“They are great products, user friendly, very flexible system. Upload and
download capability with EXCEL is a real ‘PLUS’.”
“Fast turnaround time on modification requests.”
Weyerhaeuser has seen many benefits from these implementations:
- Standardized business processes across their southern regions
- Consolidated all businesses to a single raw material system
- Gained real-time access to inventory and production information
- Made 24x7 mill scale available
- Transparent information sharing with other business systems
3LOG’s products and services accommodate Weyerhaeuser’s specific requirements:

- Manage and pay dispatch haulers across a region
- Automate the receiving process for yard-to-yard transfers
- Simplify railcar shipping so short-term, contract employees can release railcars from the mill
