Abstract:
This article deals with the application of the utility theory as a useful tool for the decision making process analysis under risk. While the theoretical value of the concept is clear, its application in practice is not easy. In addition to frequent skepticism common among managers, certain measurement issues have to be overcome in order to obtain relevant results. This article aims to use the example of a metallurgical enterprise to apply the theory for use in practice.. [..]

Abstract:
Based on the analysis of value drivers, the main aim is to assess whether and to what extent an enterprise creates value for its owners. The value of a metallurgical enterprise in the Czech Republic is usually estimated using an income approach, which is generally based on the capitalization of future benefits (profit or cash flow) arising from the enterprise.

Abstract:
In every manufacturing company the maintenance of machinery and equipment is one of the most important components of the manufacturing process. Acquisition of machinery and equipment is a major investment for a company and the company expects it would return in the form of incomes. It is necessary to ensure both the functionality and the smooth and trouble-free operation of the acquired machine. Any defects that may occur in the plant bring about many complications, time delay and related costs. The stability of the production system thus depends on maintenance. The article deals with injection molding, analyzing the costs of maintenance and analysis of the causes of injection molds scrap.
