Despite the fact its benefits were confirmed over many years, the rate of successful implementations is questionable. This article focuses on an evaluation of the leanness level given by a level of implementation of lean manufacturing methodology in manufacturing companies. It brings results gained from the survey made in the production companies related to the Czech Republic. The survey focused on an evaluation of the use of basic lean manufacturing tools. Based on acquired data, the leanness level of the companies was calculated. Results showed that an overall average leanness level is 56%. Big differences between large companies and small and medium companies were found. A gap between theoretical promoted tools and their utilization in real companies was found as well. There is a discussion on the possibility of improving the level of leanness.","PeriodicalId":315784,"journal":{"name":"Acta academica karviniensia","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128432439","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Every risk must be evaluated by the insurance company as best as possible. Insurance companies have their own methodologies for assessing international risks, which show differences. Each insurance company tries to ascertain the most accurate quantitative and qualitative data in order to analyse the potential risk in depth. Evaluation is the basis for setting prices, country risk limits and, if necessary, has an impact on the specific definition of risk acceptance conditions. The aim of the article is to analyse and evaluate the methods and approaches of insurance companies on the basis of data obtained from databases of OECD and selected credit insurance companies. Further assess from the perspective of the exporter whether these methods are important in his deciding during the implementation of a specific business case. The result is the finding that the risk evaluations of insurance companies are beneficial for the exporter in terms of assessing the planned intention to export to the territory.","PeriodicalId":315784,"journal":{"name":"Acta academica karviniensia","volume":"119 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114074851","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
