Przedstawiono wyniki badań, dotyczących zmian w systemach zarządzania i marketingu w przedsiębiorstwach przemysłu tartacznego. Na tle syntetycznej analizy nowoczesnych nurtów w sferze zarządzania, a także ogólnej charakterystyki polskiego przemysłu tartacznego, przedstawiono ważniejsze wnioski z badań bezpośrednich przeprowadzonych w latach 2006 i 2008. Stwierdzono, że w przyszłości różnorodność i...
Calculation based on performed activities and processes - so-called Activity-Based-Costing (ABC) is becoming an important tool for the costs management. In this paper we would like to present results of comparison of economic efficiency in traditional calculation system and modern calculation oriented to processes and activities. The results were achieved by using specific methodology in a chosen...
Metoda wyceny drewna okrągłego uwzględnia wpływ kosztów transportu, suszenia i przerobu drewna oraz oprocentowanie kapitału zaangażowanego w produkcję. Podstawą kalkulacji jest miesięczne zapotrzebowanie na surowiec z uwzględnieniem jego klas jakości. Rachunek ujmuje również wpływy ze sprzedaży odpadów.
The paper shows in synthetic way tabular catalogue of over 70 construction properties of wood. They were divided according to the following properties: physical, strength and acoustical, technological, exploitation, thermal, electrical, and other physical, economic. The conclusion states that all properties of wood are investigated taking into consideration its anisotropic structure which results...
The main benefit of forming clusters in the European forestry-wood sector is the synergy effect - companies, research institutions, local authorities can gain more through cooperation than by acting in the market alone. Clusters play an important role in driving European competitiveness, innovation and job creation and thus are strongly supported by EU policies. In time of a global economic slowdown...
In our study beech (Fagus silvatica L.) samples containing white and red heartwood were steamed to obtain colour homogenization. Wide range of steaming temperatures (80-120°C) was applied for wet (47%), semi-wet(28%) and dry (8%) samples. All temperature values were effective in minimizing the colour difference between white and red heartwood of beech. Below 100° C the colour change was similar irrespective...
The aim of the research was to determine the effect of modification of wood and water-based lacquer with ultra-fine zinc white on colour durability of birch and walnut veneer exposed to light. The research was carried out using methods of accelerated ageing tests consisting in exposure of birch and walnut wood surface to xenon lamp light. It was proved that the use of ultra-fine zinc white in lacquer...
Thermal modification and impregnation with natural oil may improve functional properties of wood. However, to a great extent changes in wood properties depend on the conditions of thermal modification process and on the impregnation method and type and amount of the oil used. The Wood Technology Institute in Poznan conducted research on thermal modification of wood which joined thermal modification...
The article contains information and results of research concerning the Polish furniture industry. The author's vision of operation of furniture companies in the future is presented in comparison to general characteristic of this industry, changes in production, export, and innovation activities.
Current developments suggest that crises are unknown, unstructured, unplanned and unexpected which requires application of systems approach to management to fathom their complexity and ambiguity. Companies are trying to adapt to internal and external changes when the speed, size and frequency of different types of changes is increasing. This article describes functions of management in crisis.
The paper focuses on a new way of assessment in a wood processing company with reference to assessment criteria relevance. The description of the main criteria and sub-criteria provides an opportunity for supervisors to evaluate their subordinates objectively and thus motivate them to achieve higher performance. The suggested system of assessment enables an organisation to systematically work on human...
The paper presents results of investigations of the effectiveness action of innovative structures of ionic liquids - quaternary ammonium derivatives - against three species of fungi decaying softwood and a species causing blue stain of softwood. The experiments were carried out using the culture medium method and inhibition of mycelium colony growth on agar-maltose substrate made toxic with ionic...
The article contains part of the results of research on the innovativeness of the wood sector in Poland and focuses on the effects of the innovation activity. The research was carried out within the framework of the project entitled "Foresight in the wood science and industry - research development scenarios in Poland till 2020".
The main aim of this paper is to examine the attitudes towards forest certification and certification of chain of custody in Slovakia. It presents the existing situation and analyses the potential development of certified wood and wood product market from the viewpoint of forest owners and wood industry representatives. A questionnaire was used to collect data on general attitudes as well as specific...
The aim of this study was to determine the influence of relative humidity on the form and mass of composite panels produced from wood-based panels covered with aluminium plate on one side. Part of the samples was additionally covered with aluminium foil on the side opposite to aluminium plate. HDFs, MDFs and particleboards were used as base material. The results of experiments show that relative humidity...
The aim of the work was to identify the influence of chosen waste wood materials of assumed technical properties on the change of the course of basic parameters of their combustion process. To achieve the set aim, fuel mixtures of industrial and post-consumer wood waste were prepared. In the research the assessment of prepared solid recovered fuels was made and tests of their combustion in a laboratory...
The increasing demands concerning formaldehyde content in/emission from particleboards force search after alternative bonding agents. One of such bonding agents can be polivinyloacetate (PVAc) glue. Unfortunately its high viscosity makes it difficult to apply the glue using methods for urea-formaldehyde glues. The viscosity change as dry mass decreases can be the reason for low strength of particleboards...
