This categorization was selected to enable direct comparison with the European study and to facilitate subsequent analyses and comparisons. The category with 101 to 200 employees was the most frequent (34.0%), followed by the category with 11 to 50 employees (26.8%). Respondents were asked to name the types of products produced in their plants. Responses were classified into 15 like categories. The most frequent product category, noted by over 80% of respondent companies, was dimension lumber. The results are shown in Table 7. Table 7. Types of products produced.

Respondents were asked to evaluate how important their dried product quality problems were. They responded on a 1 to 5 interval scale, where 1 signified that the noted problem that was not a concern, 3 indicated that it was a moderately serious issue, and 5 indicated that it was a major issue. Table 8 presents mean values of dried product quality problems in descending order so that the relative importance of each problem can be shown. The spread of final moisture content between boards and achieving target moisture content were the most important dried product quality problems, although they were only considered moderately serious issues.
