“…Historically, the growth of Croatian wood-processing industry, which includes wood-processing and furniture manufacturing companies, was mainly driven by rich natural supplies of high raw material, while its global recognition came from innovations and knowhow in manufacturing solid wood furniture and other products. It is worth noting that an important element in the growth of this sector of Croatian economy today is the business collaboration between wood-processing companies and the main supplier of lumber in Croatia, state-owned company Hrvatske šume (Croatian Forests), in particular in the area of certifi ed products export (Klarić et al, 2016;Paluš et al, 2018). As a branch of processing industry, wood-processing industry is an essential part of Croatian economy given that it is one of the rare sectors reporting higher export than import.…”

It can be said that Integrated Information Systems (IIS) are a fundamental operating tool in modern business systems and form the basis of successful company management. The goal of our research was to determine the IT level of business operations in Croatian wood processing industry and to assess how significant it has been in enhancing its business performance. A survey method was used to collect data, which resulted in gathering predominantly small and medium-sized companies. Our results indicate an average use of IIS modalities among surveyed companies. Using cluster analysis, three types of companies were identified with respect to the degree of system implementation. Analysis of financial benefits of the IIS implementation did not find any statistically significant relationship. However, subjective impressions on non-financial indicators show that companies in all three clusters see the greatest benefit of IIS in the improved inventory efficiency and sales efficiency.

“…The thermal treatment of wood is an ecological method, as shown by References [3][4][5], which aims to temporarily or permanently modify the physical and mechanical properties of wood. One of the lasting physical changes is the color change of the wood [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16].…”

This article deals with a granulometric composition of chips from the milling process of native and thermal treatment maple cuttings on a 5-axial Computer numerical control (CNC) machining center SCM Tech Z5. The aim of this article was to determine the changes in the granulometric composition of chips due to the thermal treatment of wood and to assess the potential risk of the creation of harmful dust fractions. Cuttings were milled with a shank cutter with exchangeable razor blades at feed speed vf = 1 ÷ 5 m·min−1 and material removal e = 3 mm. The thermal treatment in order to modify the color of the maple wood was done with water vapour at temperatures of tI = 112.5 ± 2.5 °C for a period of τ = 5.5 h (Mode I), tII = 127.5 ± 2.5 °C for a period of τ = 6.5 h (Mode II), and tIII = 137.5 ± 2.5 °C for a period of τ = 7.5 h (Mode III). The granulometric composition of the chips was detected by sifting. A granulometric analysis of the chips provided that more than 2/3 of the produced chips are a coarse fraction consisting of flat chips with dimensions over 1 mm. Dust fractions smaller than 500 μm form isometric grains, i.e., chips having approximately the same size in all three dimensions. Inhalable dust particles, smaller than 125 μm, do not exceed a 2.5% share. The granulometric analysis of chips shows that the thermal treatment of maple wood does not create respirable fractions, and therefore, the thermal treatment of the wood does not have a negative impact on the living and working environments.

“…Materials inventory and the supply chain play an important role in the production. The company is based on just-in-time production [12][13][14][15][16]. The material is transported to the assembly hall by an autonomous device in the order of seat assembly and distributed to the designated workplace of the production line.…”

This paper constitutes a partial output of carried out research and is focused on modelling the production process of car seat manufacturing. Given that manufacturing companies are currently struggling with a shortage of qualified workforce, it is the job of every business to keep their current employees. Companies make efforts to operate the most efficient production processes at very low cost and with labour saving. In order to produce at low cost, the work environment must be designed efficiently. There are many ways to do this. In this paper focused on optimizing production processes, Computerized Relative Allocation of Facilities Technique (CRAFT) and a Sankey diagram will be used.
