This paper presents a comparative simulation model of several logistic systems and their impact on operational performance. It stresses the importance of logistic processes and their management in the context of lean production and the theory of constraints. The main goal of our experimental study is to prove how significantly supporting logistic processes can influence production process performance in situations where logistic management represents a system constraint. More specifically, our study considers the capacity of handling units, and their impact on material flow continuity and efficiency. The experimental model is based on real data that was acquired by the authors over the last several years during their research and practical experience. Our results are presented in the form of software statistics that were provided after the experiment and compared with the set hypotheses. The experimental study has shown that a managerial decision to increase the capacity of handling units does not always result in the expected behaviour pattern.

Niniejszy artykuł prezentuje porównawczy model symulacji kilku systemów logistycznych i ich wpływ na wydajność operacyjną. Podkreśla znaczenie procesów logistycznych i zarządzania nimi w kontekście szczupłej produkcji i teorii ograniczeń. Głównym celem naszych badań eksperymentalnych jest udowodnienie, jak znaczne wspieranie procesów logistycznych może wpłynąć na wydajność procesu produkcyjnego w sytuacjach, w których zarządzanie logistyczne stanowi ograniczenie systemu. Ujmując problem bardziej szczegółowo, nasze badanie uwzględnia pojemność jednostek manipulacyjnych oraz ich wpływ na ciągłość przepływu materiału i wydajność. Eksperymentalny model oparty jest na rzeczywistych danych, które zostały zebrane przez autorów w ciągu ostatnich kilku lat w trakcie ich badań i praktycznych doświadczeń. Wyniki przedstawione zostały w formie statystyk oprogramowania dostarczonych po eksperymencie i porównanych z założonymi hipotezami. Badanie eksperymentalne wykazało, że decyzja menedżerska, dotycząca zwiększenia pojemności jednostek manipulacyjnych, nie zawsze prowadzi do oczekiwanego wzorca zachowań.

Purpose In this paper, the application of Umberto NXT LCA software to devise a Material and Energy Flow Analyses (MEFA) for the technology of producing electricity from gas extracted in the process of shaftless underground coal gasification is presented. The Material Flow Analyses of underground coal gasification includes a range of technology, through obtaining process gas and its purification, to electricity production, and, additionally, the capture of carbon dioxide. Methods To evaluate electricity production based on Underground Coal Gasification, Material and Energy Flow Analyses (MEFA) was used. Modeling material and energy flow helps a high level of efficiency or technology of a given process to be reached, through the effective use of resources and energy, or waste management. The applied software for modeling material flow enables, not only, the simulation of industrial processes, but also the simulation of any process with a material or energy flow, e.g. in agriculture. Results MEFA enabled the visualization of material and energy flow between individual unit processes of the technology of electricity production from UCG gas. An analysis of material and energy flow networks presented in the form of Sankey diagrams enabled the identification of unit processes with the biggest consumption of raw materials and energy, and the greatest amount of emissions to the environment. Practical implications Thanks to applying material and energy flow networks with Umberto software, it is possible to visualize the flow of materials and energy in an analyzed system (process/technology). The visualization can be presented in the form of an inventory list of input and output data, or in the form of a Sankey diagram. In the article, a Sankey diagram has been utilized. MEFA is first stage of the plan to conduct analyses using Umberto software. The analyses performed so far will be used in the following stages of the research to assess the environmental impact using the LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) technique, to analyze costs using the LCC (Life Cycle Cost) technique, and to analyze eco-efficiency. It is important to highlight the fact that this is the first attempt of material and energy flow analysis of electricity production from UCG gas. Originality/ value This is the first approach which contains a whole chain of electricity production from Underground Coal Gasification, including stages of gas cleaning, electricity production and the additional capture of carbon dioxide.
