Abstract: The paper is based on the specific conditions of industrial manufacturing company, where the conservatism principle significantly affects economic management and decision making. For this reason are specified and explained the different tools of the conservatism principle. [..] Read more

Abstract: The paper deals with mezzanine financing instruments as a possible source of financing large industrial enterprises. Mezzanine financing instruments represent a hybrid form of funding combining the debt and equity features. [..] Read more

Abstract: The aim of this article is to introduce a didactic model of metallurgical enterprise which arises by using Project OP Education for Competitiveness called "Integrated System for Modular Computer Aided Teaching with the Focus on Economics and Technical Subjects." Didactic model of metallurgical enterprise takes the form of a physical model of individual metallurgical aggregates, which are connected to the computer control systems. Unlike pure software models in this case that is a comprehensive set of technical resources of its own technology, control systems based on programmable logic controllers and circuits of measurement and control.

Abstract: In the period from 2003 to 2004 there was a dispute about the supply of liquid steel pig iron between two companies. To resolve this dispute had to be an expert to determine the usual price of liquid steel pig iron in the Moravian-Silesian Region in this period. [..] Read more

Abstract: This paper summarizes the results of a case study concerning cost management that took place in the chosen foundry. This study focuses on the comparison between the theoretical costing model and its practical applications. [..] Read more

Abstract: To develop mutually beneficial relationships in the value network leading to the final success of the network, businesses need to carry out supplier evaluation. This evaluation can be performed by both entities, i.e. [..] Read more

Abstract: Speed and flexibility of suppliers in meeting the changing demands and preferences of customers definitely contributes to strengthening relationships between suppliers and buyers in B2B markets. Therefore, it is necessary to constantly modernize production, distribution and service equipment and have a flexible manufacturing facility capable of producing high quality products according to specific customer requirements, sufficient capacity of storage space close to customers for the response to special customers' demands, or JIT deliveries, suitable transport means for transporting the products to the customer and modern service facilities.

Abstract: The main purpose of this paper is to compare the efficiency of sector manufacturing base metal in 25 European countries. The study applies Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), which is a non-parametric method based on production theory and the principles of linear programming. [..] Read more

Abstract: The paper presents the utilization possibilities of multi-criteria decision-making methods for supply chain resilience measurement. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Analytic Network Process (ANP) designed by Saaty are used for this purpose. [..] Read more

Abstract: Lean production and agile manufacturing are well known production concepts. Modern literature is full of the articles about their comparison, merger, opposition, analysis, etc. [..] Read more

Abstract: The use of working time of a Samp drawing machine has been assessed in the article. It has been evaluated in the process of drawing a steel wire, φ = 1.5 mm in diameter, which is applied in civil engineering. [..] Read more

Abstract: The group of ecology inspired algorithms includes algorithms inspired by weed colony, biogeography and symbiosis. As a part of bio-inspired optimization methods are ecology inspired algorithms generating considerable interest for solving real world problems, therefore are widely investigated across many different science branches. [..] Read more

Abstract: The turbulence of the modern environment consists not only in the occurrence of financial crises but also in the appearance of phenomena related, inter alia, to technical progress which influences the growth of the knowledge importance. The rapid development of technology also causes the substitution of production factors and the material and labor consuming products by the areas of production based on modern knowledge and characterized by the use of +computerization and automation, and low energy costs. [..] Read more

Abstract: One of the main problems companies have to solve is the distribution of resources among the potential beneficiaries. In many cases, this problem can be presented as a linear programming task with a linear objective function and constraining conditions. [..] Read more

Abstract: Information about production and consumption impacts on the workers, the consumers, the local communities, the society and other shareholders represents the most mentioned environmental and social impacts of production processes. Many companies in metallurgy solve environmental tasks of company’s production processes, introduces Environmental management systems (EMS) to improve material, energy and economic flows, but social tasks and impacts are often underestimated. [..] Read more

Abstract: Logistics involves activities from raw materials processing and transport up to delivery of final products to consumers. One of the logistics roles is to ensure the lowest cost of these activities. [..] Read more

Abstract: Implementation of eco-innovations play a crucial role in achieving sustainable development. This is particularly important in the industries characterized by the high level of energy and pollution intensity. [..] Read more

Abstract: The article outlines the current situation in the market development of the freight transportation, especially the road and railway transportation with respect to the current development and its interconnection to the subsequent logistics in relation to the current recession in the Czech Republic. Identifying new trends in the development of freight railway transportation and based on the present state of economics both in the Czech Republic and the article presents the full-scale set of reasons for decrease in the volume of transported goods in the context of its interconnection to the logistic chain..
