Antropopresja wywiera znaczący wpływ na ekosystemy wodne, stwarzając pilną potrzebę skutecznego monitoringu i zarządzania wodami powierzchniowymi, zwłaszcza w kontekście postępującej eutrofizacji. Rozwiązaniem, które może przyczynić się do poprawy efektywności podejmowania decyzji w zarządzaniu zlewniowym, jest monitoring w czasie rzeczywistym (monitoring real-time). Wydłużony czas reakcji, brak ciągłości wyników i niepewność wynikająca z pracy próbkobiorcy to główne ograniczenia tradycyjnych metod monitoringowych. Dlatego technologie monitorowania wody w czasie rzeczywistym są obiecującym rozwiązaniem pozwalającym przezwyciężyć ograniczenia tradycyjnych metod. W artykule została przedstawiona koncepcja pilotażowej telemetrycznej sieci stacji monitoringu real-time w zlewni rzeki Pilicy, która powstała w ramach projektu LIFE Pilica. Monitoring w czasie rzeczywistym, współdziałający z ekohydrologiczną wiedzą naukową, umożliwia dogłębne zrozumienie „pulsacji” ekosystemów wodnych oraz dynamiki transportu zanieczyszczeń biogenicznych. Ta synergia może w przyszłości umożliwić podejmowanie bardziej świadomych decyzji w zakresie zarządzania zasobami wodnymi, zwłaszcza pod kątem zapobiegania eutrofizacji.

Anthropopressure has a significant impact on water ecosystems, resulting in an urgent need for efficient surface waters monitoring and management, especially in the context of the progressing eutrophication. A solution that may contribute to the improvement of the catchment area management decision-making efficiency is the real-time monitoring. Extended reaction times, lack of continuity of results and incertitude related to the work of persons taking samples are the main limitations of the conventional monitoring methods. Therefore, real-time water monitoring technologies are a promising solution that may eliminate the constraints related to traditional methods. The article presents the concept of a pilot real-time telemetric monitoring stations network in the Pilica river basin under the LIFE Pilica project. Real-time monitoring combined with ecohydrological scientific knowledge allows for a deep understanding of the water ecosystems 'pulsations' and the biogenic pollutions transport dynamics. In the future, this synergy may lead to taking more informed decisions in the scope of water resources management, especially in order to prevent the eutrophication.

Humanity is one of the most important resources for businesses. Because, with human resources, the data of the institution can be obtained and information can be produced by processing. Thus, human resources make the business a learning and dynamic organization and ensure its continuity. In enterprises, personnel selection (in terms of quantity or quality) is carried out within the scope of Human Resources Management. This selection process usually takes place when a group of decision makers evaluates the candidates according to some criteria and their own opinions. However, this situation prevents an objective and fair selection. For this reason, in this study, a decision support system (DSS) has been developed by using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), one of the Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) methods, to ensure objectivity and to select the most suitable personnel for the job description. The said DSS provides the selection of the marketing manager among the personnel working in an enterprise. For this, the 10 employees working in the marketing department of the enterprise for the longest time were taken into account. When the results are examined, it is seen that the most qualified personnel can be selected successfully in cases where customer satisfaction, performance value and number of projects are prioritized

Zastosowanie nowych technologii w Przemyśle 4.0 umożliwia lepszą organizację, monitorowanie, kontrolę oraz skuteczną optymalizację procesów produkcyjnych, szczególnie w zakresie wydajności. Prezentowane rozwiązanie opiera się na hierarchicznej analizie wskaźników efektywności, w tym głównie na kontroli wskaźnika ogólnej efektywności zasobów produkcyjnych OEE. Rosnąca liczba możliwych do uzyskania skwantyfikowanych sygnałów monitorujących pracę maszyn, temperaturę otoczenia czy częstotliwość drgań sprawia, że narzędzia wspomagające decyzje są coraz bardziej wyrafinowane i, poza prezentacją obecnego stanu zasobów, coraz częściej obejmują także analizę predykcyjną. Opisywane narzędzie PUPMT pozwala zidentyfikować kluczowe zdarzenia, które mają istotny wpływ na bieżącą lub przyszłą efektywność produkcji. Umożliwia także analizę typu what-if, dopuszczając symulację wpływu projektowanych zmian, a wyniki tej symulacji uzależnia od skutków podobnych zmian, które miały miejsce w przeszłości w danym przedsiębiorstwie. Dzięki automatycznej identyfikacji potencjalnych zależności rozwiązanie dostosowuje się do specyfiki firmy lub wybranej jednostki produkcyjnej. Początkowe rozdziały zawierają m.in. opis najważniejszych metod wykorzystywanych w rozwiązaniu PUPMT. W dalszej części przedstawiono wybrane wyniki badań przemysłowych, które przeprowadzono na kilkudziesięciu jednostkach produkcyjnych.

The use of new technologies in Industry 4.0 enables better organization, monitoring, control and effective optimization of production processes, especially in terms of efficiency. The solution is based on a hierarchical analysis of key performance indicators, including mainly the control of Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE). The growing number of quantifiable signals monitoring machine operation, ambient temperature or even the frequency of vibrations makes decision support tools more and more sophisticated. Moreover, they also include predictive analysis in addition to presentations of the current state of resources. PUPMT tool allows identifying key events that have a significant impact on current or future production efficiency. It also allows the what-iftype analysis, running the simulation of the impact of the proposed changes, and the results of this simulation depend on the effects of similar changes that occurred in the past in a given enterprise. Thanks to the automatic identification of potential dependencies, the proposed solution adapts to the specifics of a given company or even a selected production unit. The paper in the first part contains a description of the essential methods used in the PUPMT tool. The second part presents selected results of industrial research, which were carried out on several dozen production units.

This study provides a systematic review of the existing academic literature describing the key components of eMaintenance. The current literature is reviewed by utilizing a number of academic databases including Scopus, SpringerLink and ScienceDirect, and Google Search is used to find relevant academic and peer-reviewed journal articles concerning eMaintenance. The literature describes eMaintenance as an advanced maintenance strategy that takes advantage of the Internet, information and communication technologies, wireless technologies and cloud computing. eMaintenance systems are used to provide real time analyses based on real time data to offer a number of solutions and to define maintenance tasks. The collection and analysis of appropriate maintenance and process data are critical to create robust ‘maintenance intelligence’ and finally improvements in manufacturing costs, safety, environmental impact, and equipment reliability. This paper describes how the scientific discussion on eMaintenance has expanded significantly during the last decade, creating a need for an up-to-date review. As a conclusion, three research gaps in the area of eMaintenance are identified, including evaluating the benefits of eMaintenance, agreeing on a comprehensive definition, and developing tools and structures for cooperative eMaintenance.

Deliveries planning in transport systems is a complicated task and require taking into account a wide range of factors. Enterprises wanting to propose solutions that meet the clients’ needs and be competitive on the market must prepare their offer based on decision support systems including factors characteristic for the real process. The aim of the article is to present a concept of a decision support system based on a multi-criteria vehicle routing problem in real conditions (Real-World VRP). Taking into account the latest trends in the optimization of the delivery plan, the model includes three criteria - the cost, time and success rate of the delivery plan as a criterion relating to the quality of the delivery plan. Among other assumptions, it should be pointed out that the heterogeneous structure of the rolling stock has been taken into account, the number of which is not limited, the vehicles return to the place of origin. The travel time of the connection and the time of loading operations are random variables. The limited driver’s work time and driving time were also applied. The effect of the work presented in the article is the concept of the decision support system in the freight transport, taking into account the quality criterion of the delivery plan.

This paper presents the problem of the assessment of the supply chains in the context of their effectiveness. In this paper the concepts of a supply chain and effectiveness were characterized. The supply chain is a structure of entities which are connected with each other by the use of material and financial flows and functional, structural, technological, economic and information dependencies. Entities such as: suppliers, final recipients, entrepreneurs, warehouse facilities, supply centers, logistics operators, carriers, etc. perform material flows from suppliers to recipients. The concept of efficiency, in general terms, refers to economic rationality and means the relationship between the achieved or expected effects and the expenditures incurred. Additionally, indicators of measuring the effectiveness of the supply chain were described. In order to assess the effectiveness of the supply chain the decision model was developed. Optimization is crucial in decision support systems. The development of an appropriate model for mapping the behavior of a real object or system and formulating an optimization task is a necessary activity in effective management. This is even more important if we want to be competitive. Along with the development of decision support systems, as well as the development of systems for data acquisition on the system functioning, which feed optimization models in ever more detailed form, complex decision models are created that take into account many optimization criteria and require a large amount of data. It allows, however, to ensure the sustainable development of the system and simultaneous implementation of its basic tasks. The main aim of this paper is to present the stages and assumptions of the model for assessing the effectiveness of the supply chain. The main data input, constraints of the model, the criteria functions were determined.

In this paper, the conceptual model of risk-based cost estimation for completing tasks within supply chain is presented. This model is a hybrid. Its main unit is based on Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS). Due to the fact that the important and difficult to evaluate input information is vector of risk-occur probabilities the use of artificial intelligence method was proposed. The model assumes the use of fuzzy logic or artificial neural networks – depending on the availability of historical data. The presented model could provide support to managers in making valuation decisions regarding various tasks in supply chain management.

The paper introduces the process of safe ship control in collision situations using a differential game model with m participants. The basic model of process includes non-linear state equations and non-linear, time-varying constraints of the state variables as well as the quality game control index in the forms of game integral payment and final payment. As an approximated model of the manoeuvring process, a model of a multi-step matrix game in the form of a dual linear programming problem has been adopted here. The Game Control (gc) computer program has been designed in Matlab/Simulink software in order to determine the own ship safe trajectory. The considerations have been illustrated with computer simulation examples using the gc program for determining safe own ship trajectory in real navigation situations when passing commonly-encountered ships.

This paper describes an application of the dynamic programming method to determine the safety of one’s own ship trajectory during encounter of other ships. A dynamic model of the process, with kinematic constraints of state and determined by a three-layer artificial neural network has been used for the development of control procedures. Non-linear activation functions in the first and second layers may be characterised by a tangent curve while the output layer is of a sigmoidal nature. The Neural Network Toolbox of the Matlab software has been used to model the network. The learning process used an algorithm of backward propagation of the error with an adaptively selected learning step. The considerations have been illustrated through an example implemented in a computer simulation using the algorithm for the determination of the safe ship trajectory in situations of encounter of multiple ships, recorded on the ship’s radar screen in real navigational situation in the Kattegat Strait.

Systemy wspomagania decyzji (SWD) w praktyce zarządzania nie są niczym nowym. Początek ich stosowania datuje się na połowę zeszłego wieku, ale w procesie ich rozwoju znacznie poszerzył się zestaw metod, które są wykorzystywane, aby ułatwić decydentom dokonywanie wyborów. Metodologia wspomagania decyzji opiera się przede wszystkim na logicznym wnioskowaniu oraz racjonalnych przesłankach ich podejmowania. Najnowsze badania interdyscyplinarne, prowadzone pod szyldem neuronauki poznawczej, pokazują jednakże, że bardzo istotne przy podejmowaniu decyzji są czynniki behawioralne i emocjonalne. Niestety, współczesne systemy wspomagania decyzji nie uwzględniają w wystarczającym stopniu tych aspektów. Zastosowanie technik neuronauki wydaje się jednak bardzo obiecującym kierunkiem rozwoju SWD. Celem artykułu jest analiza możliwości, jakie niesie ze sobą wykorzystanie narzędzi neuronaukowych w ramach systemów wspomagania decyzji, i wskazanie potencjalnych korzyści wypływających z uwzględnienia pozaracjonalnych determinant dokonywanych wyborów w procesie decyzyjnym.

Decision support systems (DSS) in management practice are nothing new. Their use dates back to the mid of the last century, but in the process of their development they have been greatly expanded with set of methods that are used to help policy makers to make choices. The methodology of decision support is based primarily on logical reasoning and reasonable grounds of their making. Recent interdisciplinary research, conducted under the name of cognitive neuroscience show, however, that very important factors in decision making process are also behavioural and emotional. Unfortunately, modern decision support systems do not sufficiently take into account these aspects. The use of neuroscience techniques seems to be a very promising direction in the development of the DSS. This article aims to analyse the possibilities offered by the use of neuroscience tools within the decision support systems and to identify potential benefits of taking into account non-rational determinants of the choices made in the decision making process.
