Modern construction technologies strongly affect the environment. Therefore, design and building construction should also follow the sustainable development principle. In this case, design and construction work based on the sustainable development principle should aim at creating a safe and healthy living environment, the economical use of natural resources, and the stimulation of economic development to create the welfare for humans and favourable natural conditions. The article proposes a mathematical algorithm as a comprehensive solution for engineering management of the planning construction site, from the calculation of the earthworks to the automated creation of the engineering geological cross-sections. The paper integrates engineering management, mathematical modelling, and BIM technology. The application of the building information model is undoubtedly one of the most advanced technologies used in the engineering management field, whose advantages have been shown by researchers. In the preliminary stage of construction and production management, decisions should be made regarding material and human resources, schedules, and estimates. The main purpose of this article is the optimisation of the excavation. Other issues important to the organisation and management of the construction are the planning of safe work on the construction site, depending on the soil type. Geotechnical sections allow ascertaining the need for additional fortifications and the depth of the fortifications for safe work. The paper describes the principal mathematical model developed by the authors to design a construction site using BIM technologies. It presents the main formulas of a mathematical algorithm aimed at selecting the objects used on the building site and the need for them. It also gives the main principles of engineering management and methods for selecting the mechanisms used on the construction site. Understandably, a specialist’s visit to the construction site will not be avoided, and it is difficult to present the entire current situation only with a review report or photographs. Using a photogrammetric model, the expert has the opportunity not only to visually evaluate the current condition but also to perform measurements (length, width, and volume) directly in the photogrammetric model. Important and new information about the construction site indicates all relevant obstacles, i.e., plants, surrounding constructions, and other objects.

Engineering management and engineering projects are subject to greater levels of uncertainty and complexity as part of the current dynamic and competitive industrial environment. Engineering managers need to navigate the arising challenges and consequently gain access to effective decision-making processes. Engineering education has a clear role to play here. However, formal education in quantitative methods is only part of the solution — engineers and engineering managers should also have access to a broader set of skills and knowledge to be effective in the industrial landscape. Therefore, we now need a new paradigm for engineering management and the decision-making process. This article draws on supporting material from the literature and the insights gained from a series of industrial cases using the participatory action research method and a process of inductive reasoning to allow synthesis of generalised propositions that are linked to the industrial cases and antecedent factors from the literature. The findings lead to a set of areas that require further development to support engineering managers to be more effective when dealing with increasing levels of uncertainty and complexity. This includes a number of areas, which are as follow: the need for engineering managers to have enhanced professional skills and knowledge; the importance of experience-based judgement; effective knowledge management; supportive leadership and overall organisational culture; and a holistic approach to decision-making. The research study has practical relevance to engineering management practitioners working in industrial companies to support self-evaluation and professional development. The findings are also pertinent to academic researchers seeking to evaluate decision-making models as part of extending the current understanding of the field of engineering management in technology-based organisations.

The objective of the paper is to present results of research carried out on the development of a logistics maturity model for enterprises. The proposed approach allows for companies to self-assess their level of advancement of logistics processes implementation with the use of logistics maturity model. Considering the results of the assessment, directions for further actions may be determined. The proposed model comprises three dimensions: SCOR model, phases of the industry logistics and logistics tools, what makes it original approach in the field of logistics maturity research. Moreover, the model described in the paper is dedicated for service industry, which is in research niche. The current state of research on maturity models is reviewed to serve as a basis for the model developed in the paper. There are inlcuded theoretical assumptions of the proposed logistics maturity model and presentation of the model’s concept, considering directions for future research on the specified issue.

In the article the idea of the “Smart City” is analysed mainly from the view point of technology. The author presents in the first part of the paper the brief review of technical issues connected with implementing the concept of “Smart City” into practice. These review is illustrated in the second part of the paper by some practical results, which are treated as a background for formulating a research problem which is tried to be presented in the third part of the paper: the problem of recognizing needs in the complex field of activities, assessing these needs and - basing on results of such an assessment - designing some integrated solutions that should be used in management of the identified resources. The final part of the paper contains some conclusions and introduces directions for further research.

Współczesne procesy kreowania i wdrażania innowacji wymagają właściwych kompetencji i wiedzy ugruntowanej na podbudowie zasad zarządzania projektami. Zwiększa to prawdopodobieństwo realizacji celów, spełnienia wymagań klientów, jak również podnosi efektywność i skuteczność procesów zarządzania innowacjami. Integracja podejścia projektowego z procesami innowacji jest postulatem służącym właściwej realizacji strategii biznesowej w polskich przedsiębiorstwach. Zaproponowany w artykule model przedstawia włączenie procesu tworzenia innowacji w procesy zarządzania. Systemowe ujęcie koncepcji innovation project machine może stanowić koherentną syntezę rozwiązań dostępnych w ramach inżynierii zarządzania.

EN

Contemporary processes of creating and implementing innovations require appropriate skills and knowledge established on the foundation of project management principles. This increases the likelihood of achieving the objectives, meet customer requirements, as well as increases the effectiveness and efficiency of the innovation management processes. The proposed conceptual model presents project management processes incorporated in the new approach to innovation. System approach to concept “innovation project machine” can provide a coherent synthesis of the solutions available in the engineering management.
