Complex assessment of activity of a selected foundry enterprise based on a modern AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) method has been presented. Having defined the areas of analysis, which include: marketing (products, distribution channels, sales organisation and client concentration), personnel (skills, managerial abilities, organisation climate, effectiveness of incentives, personnel fluctuations), production (availability of raw materials, technical level of production, effective use of production capacities), organisation and management (foundry structure, organisation culture, management performance), the analysis was made using the weighted sum of evaluations. The second step consisted in a comparative assessment of Foundry position using Saaty's scale modified by Weber and the AHP method with examination of a hierarchy structure involving the main (parent) problem and its direct evolution into sub-problems. The assessment of Foundry position made by AHP enables introducing changes and/or innovations which are expected to improve the overall production effectiveness.
