Abstract: The article deals with the issue of resources needed for the development of competitiveness in Czech manufacturers based on the increasing level of complexity within closed technological chains. The authors base their results on research which showed that primary manufacturers of raw resources export semi-finished products to long distances with a low total added value. The selected sample of manufacturers that produce rolled and drawn wires from steel and nonferrous metals showed that the primary intake are materials imported largely from countries outside the European Union.

Abstract: The logistics processes in metallurgical enterprises can be characterized by the high complexity resulting from long production cycles, wide product portfolio, decreasing volume of individual orders and considerable product dimensions. During the historical development of most metallurgical enterprises, a continuous system of logistics processes improvement was not implemented, thanks to which they would be optimized due to the changing conditions of the industry.
