Purpose: This paper explores the enduring repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic on global supply chains by investigating the experiences and adaptations of organizations in Poland, Georgia, and Turkey. It seeks to provide valuable insights into the long-term implications of the pandemic on supply chain management, with a focus on strategies and challenges faced by businesses in different regions. Design/Methodology/Approach: We conducted an extensive study utilizing an online questionnaire to gather primary data from a diverse sample of organizations in Poland, Georgia, and Turkey. This research approach is quantitative and comprehensively assess the pandemic's impact on supply chains. We analysed responses from a range of industries, enabling a holistic understanding of the topic. In addition to descriptive analysis, we conducted a comparative examination of the three countries using ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) to assess any significant differences among them. Furthermore, we employed Cramér's V, a robust statistical measure, to investigate associations between categorical variables within the dataset Findings: The research reveals that the outcomes in three distinct countries are surprisingly similar, contrary to initial expectations. The majority of the proposed COVID-19 factors exhibit no statistically significant distinctions among Poland, Georgia, and Turkey. Consequently, we can infer that the COVID-19 pandemic exerted a considerable and widespread impact on the entities under consideration. Research Limitations: Despite our efforts to gather a representative sample, the study may not encompass all industries and organizations equally. Additionally, the research is subject to the limitations of self-reported data and potential bias in responses. The focus on specific regions may not capture the entirety of global supply chain dynamics. Practical Implications: This research provides practical insights for organizations navigating supply chain challenges in a post-pandemic world. It offers guidance on building resilient and adaptable supply chains and managing risks effectively. Businesses can use these insights to make informed decisions and enhance their supply chain strategies. Originality/Value: Drawing from our own research conducted in three countries after the official conclusion of the pandemic, this study adds a distinctive contribution to the current body of literature. It takes a long-term perspective on the repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic on supply chains, specifically emphasizing diverse regions. The employed methodology and regional comparisons offer a nuanced insight into the dynamic evolution of the supply chain landscape, underscoring the importance of adaptability and resilience.

With the agricultural industry being vital for regional food safety, the extreme conditions under which it operated in Ukraine during the first half of 2022 has offered a unique insight on vulnerabilities of supply chains as well as the necessity of ensuring transport and logistics support for grain supply chain using adaptive methods. During that time frame, existing infrastructure, logistics, and involved materials were at risk of being stolen or by being destroyed due to direct combat damage or resulting fires. Established food transportation routes suffered from blockades, destruction, or congestion. Switching modes of transport for crop grains proved difficult with the absence of required transport and logistics support. The switch to vegetable oil transport proved harder still. Meanwhile, the re-established naval transportation shed a spotlight on GIS instruments that became critical for the safety of regional food supply chain. This inspired the idea of implementing methods of assessing the safety of transport facilities with the direct participation of the user based on geographic information. These methods can be key in enabling new export routes as part of a stable grain supply chain, supporting logistics behind constructing pipelines for transportation of vegetable oils. As the food safety of the world depends on new export routes, ensuring their efficiency and security will always remain relevant.

The effectiveness of the transportation system aids in the successful economic development of any nation, as studies by foreign scientists have shown that road transport is one of the most critical contributors to budget revenue. Nevertheless, the quality of the products and services offered to the end user affects any company's reputation, market share, and financial stability. Being proactive is essential to ensuring low-risk impact, which entails developing a risk management plan to support the operation through well-defined policies and practices. On the one hand, the company will thus be able to differentiate itself in an often competitive market by implementing an effective shipping protocol that considers and plans risks; on the other hand, it will guarantee its customers a timely delivery, as planned. This article focuses on the various problems affecting the distribution supply chain and the negative consequences for the company's image and financial performance.

W artykule poruszono problematykę zmienności warunków realizacji przedsięwzięcia budowlanego. W związku z tym, że zmiana warunków jest czymś naturalnym i permanentnym, warto zastanowić się nad jej prognozą. Przy czym interesuje nas nie tyle sama prognoza, co negatywne skutki występowania zmian. Aby im zapobiec, należy próbować je przewidywać i być przygotowanym do ich minimalizacji, a nawet całkowitej neutralizacji. Temu właśnie służą procedury i metody przedstawione przez autorów artykułu. Autorzy w swoich analizach opierali się na gruncie prawnym, przedstawionym w normie i ustawie oraz na badaniach własnych, których efektem było opracowanie autorskiej metody analizy ryzyka.

The article raises the variability of the conditions for the implementation of the construction project. Due to the fact that changing the conditions is something natural and permanent, it is worth considering its forecast. At the same time, we are interested not so much by the forecast itself but the negative effects of changes. To prevent them, they should be predicted and be prepared to minimize them and even complete neutralization. And this is what the procedures methods presented by the authors of the article is for. In their analyses, the authors based their analyzes on the legal grounds presented in the standard and the Act, as well as on their own research, which resulted in the development of a proprietary risk analysis method.

Purpose: The research aimed to present and analyse a case study of the adaptation of ISO 9001:2015 requirements for the identification of the context of the organization and the determination of risks in the small manufacturing company Eurobent, and to identify the main problems encountered when performing these activities. Design/methodology/approach: The main research methods were: the analysis of literature, the analysis of the organisation’s internal documents, the participant observation, and logical inference. Findings/conclusions: The latest edition of ISO 9001 introduced the requirement to, among other things, establish the context of operations and risks. This paper presents a specific case of the implementation of the standard’s requirements in this respect in the small manufacturing company Eurobent, where this task was treated as one of the four steps of implementing a risk-based approach. As a supporting method to identify the external context of the activity, the PESTEL method was adopted. Four elements of the internal operating context were identified. Stakeholder requirements and expectations and 39 potential risks were identified. Risk matrices were prepared for the key risks and plans were developed to deal with the risks. The main problems encountered during the development of the operating context and risks were mainly due to the limitations of working in a small organisation. Research limitations: The results of a study done in one small organisation operating in a specific ecosystem cannot be generalised. Practical applications: The presented case of the implementation of ISO 9001 requirements with regard to the identification of the context of organization and risks can be a good practice model for small manufacturing companies, especially in the field of construction production. Originality/value: The presented case is unique. The greatest cognitive value of the article is that it addresses the practical implementation of a risk-based approach in a small company.

Occupational risk assessment is one of the most crucial legal obligation for employers and the basis of accident prevention. In the case of highly repetitive work operations and an almost constant work environment, performing a preliminary risk analysis and checking risk levels periodically may be sufficient. In the case of blasting operations in quarries: the mining and geological conditions, technology, blasting methods, explosives, and initiating agents are variables that affect occupational safety. Moreover they make occupational risk assessment difficult to apply on the operational level. Therefore, occupational risk management followed by a deep analysis of hazards and their associated risks may allow to design and manage blasting works with regard to occupational risk. The paper presents the method for the support of occupational risk management in quarry blasting operations based on a modified FMECA algorithm. The designed method provides a systematic approach to risk identification, and allows to indication of the main occupational hazards that should be prioritized for preventive action. The preventive action which could be implied in the design stage by changes in technology or work organization based on options available for a particular quarry.

Ocena ryzyka zawodowego stanowi jedno z podstawowych wymagań prawnych stawianych pracodawcy oraz fundament prewencji wypadkowej. W przypadku prac charakteryzujących się powtarzalnymi czynnościami i niewielką zmiennością środowiska pracy, wykonanie oceny ryzyka zawodowego wraz z okresową kontrolą poziomu ryzyka wydaje się wystarczające i spełnia wymaganie stawiane przez prawo. Rozważając prace strzałowe w kamieniołomach, warunki górnicze i geologiczne, stosowana technologia i metody strzelania, środki strzałowe i inicjujące są zmiennymi, które mogą wpływać na poziom bezpieczeństwa pracy. Ponadto zmienne występujące w trakcie robót strzałowych powodują, że ocena ryzyka zawodowego i jej wyniki są trudne do wdrożenia na poziomie operacyjnym. Rozwiązaniem tego problemu może być zarządzanie ryzykiem zawodowym poprzedzone szczegółową analizą zagrożeń i towarzyszących im ryzyk, które może pozwolić na projektowanie i zarządzanie robotami strzałowymi z uwzględnieniem ryzyka zawodowego pracowników. Artykuł prezentuje metodę wspierającą zarządzanie ryzykiem zawodowym w robotach strzałowych w odkrywkowym górnictwie skalnym opartą na zmodyfikowanym algorytmie FMECA. Zaproponowana metoda pozwala na systematyczne podejście do identyfikowania ryzyk zawodowych i wskazuje na kluczowe zagrożenia zawodowe, dla których powinny zostać w szczególności zastosowane działania profilaktyczne. Ograniczenie ryzyka zawodowego może być osiągnięte na etapie projektowania robót strzałowych poprzez zmianę technologii lub organizacji pracy w oparciu o dostępne możliwości dla danego zakładu górniczego, a wybór charakteru rodzaju zmian jest wspierany przez zaproponowany w niniejszym artykule algorytm.

Zapotrzebowanie transportowe z roku na rok zwiększa się. Dzieje się tak z powodu wzrostu produkcji i konsumpcji. Czym dłuższy jest łańcuch dostaw, tym większe są możliwości wystąpienia w nim zakłóceń, gdyż wszystkie operacje wiążą się z ryzykiem. Jednakże o ryzyku w kontekście łańcucha dostaw i zarządzania nim mówi się od niedawna. Niestety żadna branża nie jest odporna na przewidywalne i nieprzewidywalne zakłócenia, które wywołują straty (np. zaginięcie towaru). Z punktu widzenia przewoźników istotna byłaby możliwość przewidzenia wystąpienia np. uszkodzenia towaru. Artykuł koncentruje się na wykorzystaniu metod uczenia maszynowego do przewidzenia ryzyka uszkodzeń towarów (takich jak sprzęt RTV, AGD czy telefony/komputery) w transporcie drogowym. W ramach badań wykorzystano pięć inteligentnych metod: regresję logistyczną, maszynę wektorów nośnych (SVM); drzewo decyzyjne; naiwny klasyfikator bayesowski; AdaBoost. Natomiast celem jest przedstawienie koncepcji oraz wymienionych metod uczenia maszynowego, miar oceniających wydajność modeli oraz wyników związanych z przeprowadzonym badaniem. Postawiony cel zdeterminował wybór metod badawczych – wykorzystano analizę literatury oraz programowanie. W ostatniej części artykułu przedstawiono wyniki otrzymane z analizy pięciu modeli. W ramach badań ustalono, że najlepszą zdolność predykcyjną ma AdaBoost.

The transport demand is increasing year by year. This is because of the increase in production and consumption. The longer the supply chain is, the more likely it is to be disrupted, as all operations involve risks. However, risk in the context of the supply chain and its management has recently been discussed. Unfortunately, no industry is immune to predictable and unpredictable disruptions that affect losses (e.g. loss of goods). From the point of view of carriers, it would be important to be able to predict the occurrence of, for example, damage to the goods. The article focuses on the use of machine learning methods to predict the risk of damage to goods (such as electronics, household appliances or telephones/computers) in road transport. The research used five intelligent methods such as: logistic regression; support vector machine (SVM); decision tree; naive Bayesian classifier; AdaBoost. The aim of the paper is to present the concept and the above-mentioned methods of machine learning, measures assessing the performance of models and the results related to the conducted research. The set goal determined the choice of the research methods – literature analysis and programming were used. The last part of the article presents the results obtained from the analysis of five models. The research established that AdaBoost has the best predictive ability.

Risk, as an effect of uncertainty, is associated with every human activity. Like any other industry, construction companies are eager to reduce the uncertainty of reluctant events. A well-planned risk communication system could contribute to the success of a construction project. A proper announcement protocol could be a mitigating lever for identified or unidentified risks during planning and monitoring processes. This research aims to present a risk communication management system (RCMS) for construction companies involved in large projects. The proposed model includes a step-by-step communication procedure considering the authority level within the organisational hierarchical structure. The model aims to remove the ambiguity of risk communications during the construction process under uncertain conditions. It leaves no or little room for the emergence of unplanned risks. The proposed communication structure has been implemented in GRC cladding construction projects, and the risk communication time and response have been significantly improved.

With cyber threats rapidly growing, cyber risk insurance is emerging as a solution that can complement traditional cyber security tools based on technical and organizational measures. Moreover, the well-established risk management standards, such as ISO 31000 and ISO 27000, identify cyber insurance as having an important role to play in financing the negative impact of cyber risk. Accordingly, the purpose of this paper is to present the concept of cyber insurance and its key features, such as scope of coverage, areas of application, underwriting and premium calculation principles. The analysis is focused on industrial enterprises, which in many cases belong to the state’s critical infrastructure. They face not only pure cyber risk, but also cyber-physical risk, which means particularly high severity of potential losses. This study can have practical value in the context of requirements of the new NIS 2 Directive.

W obliczu eskalacji zagrożeń cybernetycznych ubezpieczenie ryzyk cybernetycznych staje się rozwiązaniem, które może uzupełniać tradycyjne narzędzia cyberbezpieczeństwa wykorzystujące instrumenty techniczne i organizacyjne. Co więcej, uznane standardy zarządzania ryzykiem takie jak ISO 31000 i ISO 27000 wskazują ubezpieczeniom cybernetycznym istotną rolę do odegrania w obszarze finansowania negatywnych skutków realizacji ryzyka cybernetycznego. W związku z tym celem artykułu jest przedstawienie koncepcji ubezpieczenia ryzyk cybernetycznych i podstawowych jego parametrów takich, jak: zakres ochrony, obszary zastosowań, zasady oceny ryzyka i kalkulacji wysokości składki ubezpieczeniowej. Analizę przeprowadzono z punktu widzenia przedsiębiorstw przemysłowych, które w wielu przypadkach stanowią element infrastruktury krytycznej państwa. Zagraża im nie tylko czyste ryzyko cybernetyczne, lecz także ryzyko cyberfizyczne, co oznacza szczególnie dużą dotkliwość potencjalnych strat. Niniejsza praca ma znaczenie aplikacyjne w kontekście wymagań nowej dyrektywy NIS 2.
