Poland occupied a high fourth place in the ranking of furniture exporters in terms of both the value and volume of furniture export. To improve the competitive position of the Polish furniture industry on the international market, it is important to optimize production costs. The publication consists of two parts.

In this article - the second part of the publication - the focus was on direct and indirect costs of production. So this article discusses the direct and indirect operating expenses in studied furniture companies together with taking into account the market segments. The main result of the conducted analysis was obtaining the average costs structure of products (furniture) sold and determining the recommendations to costs optimisation for furniture manufacturers.
