The analysis of steel production and utilization of production capacity in Polish steel industry

The analysis of steel production volume in relation to the level of capacity utilization in Polish steel industry is the content of this publication. This publication is based on numerical data on the volume of steel production and the degree of capacity utilization. The time range of the analysis covered the period from 2000-2018, and the data presented concerned annual periods. The analysis of steel production volume in the context of the degree of capacity utilization (production capacity) is an important part of the productivity assessment. The choice of the steel industry as a research object was dictated by the importance of steel production volume for the development of steel users’ markets. The main purpose of the work was to reveal the connections between the volume of steel production and the level of steel production capacity involved in Polish steel industry

Prognostic modeling of total steel production and according to production technology in Poland

The publication presents the prognostic modeling of steel production in Poland by 2020. Based on the general framework predicting, an attempt was made to adjust the model to empirical data, which were related to the size of steel production in Poland. Two prognostic approaches were used. The first approach included determination of prognoses for total steel production on the basis of empirical data for the 1990-2014 period. The second approach used empirical data for the volume of steel production according to production technologies for the 2000-2015 period. Prognoses until 2020 were determined in both cases. Thus obtained prognoses were related to changes observed on the global steel market
