The firm in competitive environment
Dittrichová, Iva ; Šrédl, Karel (advisor) ; Svoboda, Roman (referee)
My bachelor work deals with the issue of competition in wood processing industry specifically sawmilling. This thesis is divided into two main parts, theoretical and practical part.
The theoretical part defines important terms related to the issue. The core of the thesis concentrates on perfect and imperfect competition. The theoretical part represents the pillar for the practical part. The practical part focuses on a particular company in the wood processing industry. At first it briefly introduced and on the basis on selected rations is drawn up financial analysis. The middle part of practical part describes the wood processing industry and main competitors. In conclusion is evaluation of the situation of the company within competition according to the comparative method and SWOT analysis and also list of strengths and weaknesses of the company.

Design of a drying device for wood-processing industry
Vach, Tomáš ; Hrázský, Jaroslav (referee) ; Otáhal, Jan (advisor)
The thesis considers a stabilization of temperature of a wood fiber during production of medium close fibre boards MDF in a wood-processing industry. The original purpose to solve energetic optimalization of a kiln dryer has become a serious problem. It turned out that production suffers with a big heat loss which results in big heat loss gained during a kiln drying. Primary aim of this thesis is an examination of a cooling effect of environment on chosen parts of a production line and suggestion of acceptable proceeding to minimize heat loss and to rise temperature of the wood fiber to required temperature. Solution is aimed on the section of a production line between drying equipment and press. First part of the thesis introduces technology of production of fibre boards, introduction to heat transfer problems and also basics of computer modeling of heat flow and transfer using CFD simulation. The next part includes an evaluation of the heat loss of chosen parts of the production line in a current working condition and its comparison with computer simulations. Verification of accuracy of the results while using both approaches to solution is a first step to the improvement of the current situation. It is possible to use the verified calculation model for the following solution of effects on convective and radiation heating of a wood fiber layer. An important factor in the last period of a calculation is a real temperature of the fiber board-mat at the entrance to a press. The higher entering temperature in a set temperature range is reached, the lower time needed for pressing will be and simultaneously the whole industrial process will be cut short. The solution of a problem leads to an achievement of an energy saving and should become a solid basis from which it would be possible to evaluate an improvement of production of MDF boards. The conclusion of the thesis includes an analysis of findings which refers to a heating of wood fiber and it’s effectiveness for a practical use.

Economic analysis of the company Dřevoterm, s.r.o.
Androvičová, Adela ; Vávrová, Hana (advisor) ; Slunčík, Peter (referee)
Economic analysis investigates certain economic subject by using variety of different economic and mathematical-statistical methods and procedures. In the present work we perform economic analysis of wood producing company Dřevoterm, s.r.o. for the years from 2007 to 2011 based on externally available data. From approaches of economic analysis we use methods of financial analysis including analysis of absolute and relative financial ratios, pyramidal decomposition of financial ratios and global indexes of financial health. Further we analyze net working capital, costs and stocks of the company in detail. Obtained results are discussed in context of theoretically optimum values, average results of the whole wood producing industry and external factors which influenced analyzed company during past years. The results show that despite growing revenues of the company the majority of calculated indicators scored with a worsening trend and the company should focus primarily on reducing cost of revenues.
