A qualitative and dimensional characterisation of round wood vs sawmill costs

The influence of variable indexes of material prices on costs in an enterprise is a significant element affecting the position of sawmill enterprises in the domestic wood industry. Apart from the price rise factor resulting from the increasing material deficit, the qualitative and dimensional characterisation of processed round wood is also significant. The influence of these factors is particularly important for medium-size enterprises concentrating on gradual technological development in order to maintain competitiveness on the market.
