ASSESSMENT OF TECHNOLOGY, TECHNOLOGICAL RESOURCES AND QUALITY IN THE MANUFACTURING OF TIMBER PRODUCTS

The article presents the results in the field of assessment of technologies and technological resource used in the production of wooden products in analysed sawmill industry enterprise to improve quality of the products. A matrix of strategic technology areas - STO matrix was used to evaluate the technologies used. ABC technology method and 5 grade Parker scales were used to assess critical machine for the production process four-side planer. It has been shown that the technologies used in the production of the tested product pine wood coffin can be assessed on an average level rating "2" on a scale of 0-3 according to the STO matrix, while machine critical for the production process that was assessed as made of the use of mostly the well-known technology, requiring, however, having the appropriate technical knowledge a rating of "3" on a scale of 1-5 according to the 5 grade Parker scales. The high impact of technologies and technological resources used on the quality of manufactured products was pointed out. Actions to be taken in the context of technology and technological resources have been identified to increase the quality of manufactured products. Utilitarian value of the research are recommendations for executives pointing the way to improve products quality by the area of "technology" and "plant and machinery".
