OÜ Reta Puit, a private limited company based on private capital, was founded in 1992. At the beginning, timber trade was the main area of activity of the company. The company and the area of activity have grown over the years. Today, the areas of activity of OÜ Reta Puit are logging and silviculture, purchase of standing timber and forest land, purchase and sale of timber, export of roundwood material, sale of firewood and production of sawn timber. Sawmill was built in 2008, the primary purpose thereof was supplying the local market with sawn timber. A one-band bandsaw and one-disc edging saw were used. In the autumn of 2011, the extension and reconstruction of sawmill started. In addition to the existing bandsaw, a new two-band bandsaw was installed in the production building and the old edging saw was replaced with a new four-disc edging saw. Moreover, the bandsaws and the edging saw were attached and they formed a whole with the longitudinal and perpendicular conveyor lines, and the sorting line of the sawn timber was added. The purpose of the Master's thesis is to compare the production technology of the sawmill and the yield of sawn timber before and after reconstruction. Attention was also paid to the reasons of work stoppages. In the summer of 2011, the inspection of production technology and sawing logs and the recordings were carried out. In order to compare the results the same actions were carried out in 2012 after the year of reconstruction. Based on the yields of the cutting patterns of the sawn timber, the measurement results showed that the production volume and yield of sawn timber increased in the reconstructed sawmill – it has been a positive reconstruction. The author of the thesis has also made recommended proposals to the management of the company for better organisation of the work, some of the proposals have already been put into practice.

Aastal 1992 loodi erakapitalil põhinev osaühing, mis sai nimeks OÜ Reta Puit. Firma algusaastatel tegeldi põhiliselt puidukaubandusega. Aastatega on firma laienenud ja tegevusvaldkondki suurenenud. Tänaseks on OÜ Reta Puit tegevusaladeks metsaraie- ja kasvatustööd, kasvava metsa ja metsamaa ostmine, metsamaterjalide ost-müük, ümarmaterjali eksport, küttehalgude müük ning ettevõttele kuuluvas saeveskis saematerjali tootmine. 2008. aastal rajati saeveski, mille peamiseks eesmärgiks sai kohaliku turu varustamine saematerjaliga. Palkide lahtisaagimiseks rakendati ühelindilist lintsaagi ning materjali servamiseks ühekettalist seimerpinki. 2011. aasta sügisel algas saeveski juurdeehitus ning rekonstrueerimine. Lisaks olemasolevale lintsaele paigaldati tootmishoonesse uus kahelindiline lintsaag ning vana seimer asendati uue neljakettalise seimerpingiga. Lisaks ühendati lintsaed ning seimerpink piki- ning ristitransportöörliinidega üheks tervikuks ning lisati saematerjali sorteerimisliin. Magistritöö eesmärgiks on võrrelda saeveski tootmistehnoloogiat ning saematerjali väljatulekut enne ja pärast rekonstrueerimist. Tähelepanu pöörati ka tööseisakute esinemise põhjustele. 2011. aasta suvekuudel toimus tootmistehnoloogia ja palkide lahtisaagimise vaatlus ning üleskirjutuste tegemine. Võrdlusmomendi saamiseks toimiti samamoodi ka rekonstrueerimise järgsel 2012. aastal. Saematerjali saekavade väljatulekute alusel täheldati mõõtmistulemustest, et rekonstrueeritud saeveskis on tootmismaht ning saematerjali väljatulek suurenenud – rekonstrueerimine on olnud igati positiivne. Töö autori poolt on esitatud ettevõtte juhtkonnale ka soovituslikud ettepanekud edasise töö paremaks korraldamiseks, millest osa on juba rakendatud.
