W artykule wskazano, że umiejętne połączenie metod tradycyjnych (harmonogram, model sieciowy) i współczesnych (elastyczność, zwinność, lean management), zwłaszcza w przypadku wykorzystania idei Budownictwa 4.0 daje szanse na doskonalenie zarządzania procesami na bazie z jednej strony stabilizacji wydajności, a z drugiej dostosowania do zmieniających się warunków otoczenia. Dzięki systemowi cyberfizycznemu oraz monitoringowi i możliwości zarządzania w czasie rzeczywistym istnieje możliwość zapewnienia realizacji założonego głównego planu pomimo ciągłych zmian w otoczeniu wewnętrznym i zewnętrznym. Konieczność uwzględnienia elastyczności pojawiła się w dziedzinie zarządzania procesami budowlanymi u progu 21. wieku i trwa, koncentrując się na Agile Management. Synergia wynikająca z zastosowania jednocześnie kilku podejść wydaje się warunkiem osiągnięcia sukcesu w postaci zgodności rzeczywistego przebiegu z planem.

EN

This article indicates that the skillful combination of traditional methods (schedule, network model) and modern methods (Flexibility, Agility, Lean Management), especially with the use of the idea of Construction 4.0 gives the opportunity to improve process management based on the stabilization of performance on the one hand, and, on the other, adaptation to changing environmental conditions. Thanks to the cyber-physical system as well as real-time monitoring and management, it is possible to ensure the implementation of the assumed master plan despite constant changes in the internal and external environment. The need to consider flexibility emerged in the field of construction process management at the turn of the 21st century and continues to focus on Agile Management. The synergy resulting from the simultaneous use of several approaches seems to be the condition for achieving success in the form of compliance of the actual mileage with the plan.

The aim of the article is to analyze the impact of effective time management on the performance of workstations in the context of the conflict between maximizing workstation utilization and minimizing the number of items waiting in the queue. The article utilized the FlexSim program to build a simulation model of the workstation and conducted optimization using the built-in optimizer. The research demonstrated that effective time management has a positive impact on workstation performance by reducing the number of items waiting in the queue, leading to increased throughput and reduced delays in production processes. An important aspect of the analysis was the application of a multi-criteria optimization approach, which allowed for achieving a balance between maximizing workstation utilization and minimizing the number of items waiting. Multi-criteria optimization considers diverse goals and decision criteria, leading to a more comprehensive approach to optimizing production processes. As a result, effective time management on workstations, based on analysis and multi-criteria optimization, can significantly improve the efficiency and performance of production processes. This analysis can be a valuable tool for organizations seeking to optimize their processes and achieve a competitive advantage in the market. The analysis conducted in the article confirms that effective time management has a beneficial impact on workstation performance. The use of a multi-criteria approach in optimization enables achieving a balance between various decision factors. The presented simulation model and research results can be useful for decision-makers in the manufacturing field who aim to make more informed decisions regarding planning and optimizing production processes to enhance efficiency, effectiveness, and customer satisfaction.

In the literature on the subject, one can notice quite a lot of freedom in the approach to formulating and understanding of terms relating to process orientation, process approach and managing processes and process management. In recent years, there has been a noticeable increase in interest in the study of process management not only of organizations, but also of individual activities such as projects. Managers are looking for indicators and metrics to measure the effectiveness and efficiency of processes in their activities. The purpose of the article is to try to identify differences and similarities and to systematize terminology related to process management in organizations. The study uses literature research based on an exploration of the Web of Science and Scopus databases, with the analysis limited to scientific publications only, and the selection of available materials excluded other materials, such as communications, reviews or other documents, from the analysis. The article is of a review and conceptual nature. The collected research results were subjected to comparative analysis, logical analysis and critical analysis. The research and analysis results presented in the article are an attempt to organize terminology that can be used in further scientific research.

As an important resource for human survival, soil plays an important role in maintaining productivity, environmental quality, animal and plant health, etc. Soil quality evaluation, as a decision-making tool to improve understanding of soil quality, can effectively indicate soil status. Mu Us sandy land of Daji Khan in northern Shaanxi Province is one of the serious desertification areas in China. The phenomenon of soil erosion and ecological deterioration is extremely serious. Therefore, it is urgent to strengthen to pay attention to the research of Mu Us sandy land, to help the restoration of damaged soil, and to build a powerful soil ecosystem. In this paper, the soil quality in the process of development and utilization of the Mu Us sandy land was evaluated based on fuzzy sets for the purpose of sustainable utilization of compound soil. Based on soil structure and soil fertility, 16 evaluation indexes of soil quality in Mu Us sandy land were screened, and then the evaluation index system of soil quality was constructed. The fuzzy multi-objective decision-making model based on fuzzy sets was used to comprehensively evaluate the soil quality from 2013 to 2019. We calculated that the year-on-year growth rates of soil quality from 2013 to 2019 are 13.56, 0.16, 12.81, 33.84, 9.68, and 14.80%, respectively. The results showed that the overall soil quality in the study area showed a trend of increasing year by year, and the year-on-year increase was the largest in 2017. Meanwhile, the reasons for the sudden increase in soil quality in typical years were analyzed. The results showed that the dominant factor of this phenomenon was the comprehensive influence of soil fertility. Furthermore, the relationship between soil fertility and cultivated horizon in typical years was analyzed one by one, and the specific factors affecting soil fertility were discussed.

Purpose: The main objective of the article is to present the concept of assessing the level of an organization’s utilization of its potential for transformation towards process orientation, using a practical implementation example. Design/methodology/approach: The structure of the research procedure was based on the theoretical assumptions regarding the methodological procedures involving development of a model of process maturity assessment. Such research methods as bibliometric analysis, systematic literature review, participant observation, opinion survey and semi-structured interview were used to achieve the research objectives formulated. Findings: The value of the article entails the combination of quantitative and qualitative methods to determine an organization’s propensity for transition towards higher levels of process maturity. This effect has been achieved using a method of multi-hierarchical process maturity assessment. It has been determined that the organization under examination is at the second level of process maturity, although many of the elements diagnosed show third-level process maturity potential. An authorial research method has been additionally verified, as well as the examined organization’s real and utilized potential has been determined, which constitute the basis for assessing the level of process maturity. Research limitations/implications: inability to fully objectify the research results obtained. Practical implications: The article shows the basis and the method for identifying the examined company’s real and utilized potential of process maturity as well as for determining the level of process maturity, based on which the company’s strategy towards a higher level of process maturity can be formulated. Originality/value: The unique nature of this article lies in the proposed method of multi-hierarchical assessment of an organization’s process maturity. In order to deepen the interpretation of the results obtained from a quantitative study, qualitative research was used. This allows development of a strategy for achievement of higher levels of maturity.

Purpose: The aim of the paper is to identify the process of creating an association and to define a model of the process of creating an association that is registered in the National Court Register, as well as to show the role played by the entity managing this process. On this basis the author attempts to answer the research questions: What is the correct model of the association formation process and whether, and if so, to what extent the activities undertaken by the entity managing the association formation process affect the possibility of its creation and the subsequent functioning of the association? Design/methodology/approach: In order to search for evidence to answer the research questions, the method of legal analysis (normative methodology) anchored in the theory of organisation and management was used, as appropriate for analysing a phenomenon highly determined by legal regulations. The combination of the research method of legal analysis and concepts from the field of organisation and management allows to formulate conclusions on the identification and course of the phenomenon under study, causes and effects of actions taken by the entity managing the process of association formation. The author has used various techniques and tools to collect and analyse data, i.e. participatory observation, legal analysis, analysis of documentation, analysis of judicial decisions and Internet sources. Findings: The author has identified and defined a model for managing the association formation process and has established the important role of the entity managing this process. Practical implications: The association formation process management model can be used in practice by those who undertake the management of such processes. Social implications: One of the basic organisational forms, in which a person can actively influence social life, be creative and realise both his own needs and the needs of others, is the association. The institution of association - as an organisation - seems to be underused by active members of social life. An undeniable problem is the difficulty to direct the process of association creation, there is no popularization of a model of the process of association creation. Therefore, it is necessary to define such a model, perhaps to define a postulate for legislative changes and, above all, to educate and promote it. Originality/value: The presented analysis is important, because it establishes and shows a model of the association formation process, which can be applied by the entity managing the association formation process, and shows its significance for the later functioning of such an organisation as an association registered in the National Court Register. This research problem, so far, has not been elaborated from the point of view of management science.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to show the importance of measuring the effects of the execution of personnel processes within the framework of personnel function management in manufacturing enterprises. Design/methodology/approach: The development of the article required a critical analysis of the literature on the subject. A literature study of scientific publications, a survey, and face-to 16 face interviews were performed. Findings: Thanks to the realization of the survey it was found that, despite such high awareness of the importance and effectiveness of the use of KPIs, only less than 28% of the respondents declared the use of HR function measurements in a systematic way, and only 53% use only a few indicators, in an active way and not fully coordinated. Research limitations/implications: Future directions of activities will concern the realization of research in another research group (increased number of analyzed production and service enterprises) from the area of the southern part of Poland and the comparative analysis of obtained results. The limitation of the research may be the unwillingness of enterprises to cooperate. Practical implications: The results of the study indicate the possibility and at the same time recommend the implementation of KPIs for monitoring the effectiveness of development processes in enterprises. The obtained results will contribute to the implication of more KPIs and thus increase the level of effective management. Originality/value: Filling the research gap in the field of measuring the effects of personnel function with the use of selected KPIs. The study is addressed to the management staff of enterprises.

W polskim górnictwie prowadzone są działania dostosowujące branżę do funkcjonowania w warunkach gospodarki rynkowej. Likwidacja kopalni jest ostatnim i naturalnym etapem działalności górniczej. Decyzja o likwidacji zakładu górniczego może być wydana w wyniku wyczerpania zasobów eksploatowanego złoża, nieopłacalności wydobycia w szczególnie niekorzystnych warunkach górniczo-geologicznych, wygaśnięcia koncesji lub nadmiernej degradacji środowiska. W wyniku procesów restrukturyzacji liczba czynnych kopalń węgla kamiennego znacznie spadła. Działania rewitalizacji i restrukturyzacji kopalń węgla kamiennego realizowane są przez Spółkę Restrukturyzacji Kopalń S.A. jako następcy prawnego wcześniejszej eksploatacji górniczej. Likwidacja kopalni jest skomplikowana i kosztowna. Zmiany zachodzące w otoczeniu górnictwa powodują zainteresowanie stosowaniem koncepcji zarządzania procesami w prowadzonej działalności. W publikacji przedstawiono wyniki badań nad procesami zachodzącymi przy uwalniania majątku zakładów górniczych postawionych w stan likwidacji. Zaprezentowano propozycje możliwych zmian systemu zarządzania procesami dostosowanego do specyfiki likwidacji kopalń.

Restructuring measures have been carried out in the Polish mining industry to adjust the industry to the market economy. The liquidation of the mine is the last and natural stage of mining activity. A decision to liquidate a mining plant may be issued as a result of the depletion of resources of exploited deposit, the unprofitability of mining in a particularly unfavorable mining and geological conditions and the expiry of a concession or excessive environmental degradation. As a result of the restructuring processes, the number of active hard coal mines significantly dropped. The activities related to the revitalization and restructuring of hard coal mines are carried out by Spółka Restrukturyzacji Kopalń S.A. as the legal successor of previous mining operations. The mine liquidation is complex and costly. Changes taking place in the mining environment cause interest in applying the concept of process management in the conducted activity. The publication presents the results of the research on the processes that occur while releasing the property of mining plants that are put into liquidation. According to the previous conclusions, proposals for possible changes of the process management system adapted to the specificity of mine liquidation were presented.

Restrukturyzacja górnictwa węglowego pociąga znaczne nakłady budżetowe. Kompleksowe podejście naukowe ułatwi prowadzenie procesów racjonalizacji i minimalizacji kosztów likwidacji kopalń węgla kamiennego. W artykule przeprowadzono analizę statystyczną przebiegu procesów likwidacji zakładów górniczych w SRK S.A. w układzie rocznym oraz badania panelowe i wywiad bezpośredni z osobami kierującymi działalnością Spółki i jej Oddziałami. Zaprezentowany sposób sygnalizowania wyjścia kosztów poza strukturę wartości akceptowalnych, wypracowanych przez 20 lat działalności SRK S.A., jest przydatnym narzędziem do zarządzania kosztami w problematyce likwidacji zakładów górniczych. Metoda oceny oparta jest o analizę kosztu likwidacji Oddziałów z podziałem na kolejne lata przebiegu procesów. Dalszych badań wymagać będzie powiązanie struktury i wielkości ponoszonych kosztów w zależności od zastosowanego modelu likwidacji oddziału. Metodę można zastosować przy wstępnym szacowaniu kosztów likwidacji zakładów górniczych oraz jako narzędzie zarządzania kosztami. Po pewnych modyfikacjach metoda może być zastosowana także przez każdy podmiot prowadzący likwidację kopalń jako narzędzie porównawcze do szczegółowego i wielokryterialnego szacowania kosztów projektowanej likwidacji zakładów górniczych.

EN

The presented method of signalling costs that has gone beyond the structure of acceptable values and that has been developed for 20 years of operations of SRK S.A. is a useful tool for the cost management in the field of mining plants liquidation. The assessment method is based on the analysis of the cost of liquidation of branches with the division for subsequent years of the course of processes. Further research will be based on the connection between the structure and the size of the costs incurred depending on the application of the model of the branch liquidation. Not only the method can be used for the initial costs estimation of mining plants liquidation but also it can be used as a cost management tool. After some modifications, the methodology can be also used by any entity conducting the liquidation of hard coal mines as a comparative tool for detailed and multi – criteria cost estimation of planned liquidation of mining plants.

This paper affirms the anticipated utilisation of UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) systems in the market environment existing in Slovakia. Significant use of UAV systems can be considered in light of corporate management’s own lack of readiness to employ them practically. The purpose of the article is to monitor the issue in Slovakia and identify the basic starting points that the company needs to solve in the case of process management of the implementation of UAV systems in internal company processes. The methodology of the issue took place through sociological inquiries in the form of questionnaires and document analyses. The result of the investigation is that the Slovak market does not offer relevant data on the active use of UAV systems in the field of ensuring the operation of internal company management processes. Based on the information obtained, it is clear that the need to introduce UAV systems will be crucial in the future, as well as the need to develop recommendations for the process management of the implementation of UAV systems in individual areas of industry in the conditions of Slovakia.

W artykule potwierdzono potencjalne wykorzystanie systemów UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle - bezzałogowych statków powietrznych) w warunkach rynkowychistniejących na Słowacji. Stopień intensywności wykorzystania systemów UAV można rozpatrywać pod kątem braku gotowości kierownictwa przedsiębiorstw do ich praktycznego zastosowania. Celem artykułu jest monitorowanie niniejszej problematyki na Słowacji oraz identyfikacja podstawowych warunków, które przedsiębiorstwo musi spełniać w przypadku procesowego zarządzania implementacją systemów UAV wspierających wewnętrzne procesy firm. Metodologia badawcza obejmowała badania socjologiczne obejmujące kwestionariusze i analizy dokumentów. W wyniku przeprowadzonego badania stwierdzono, że rynek słowacki nie oferuje istotnych danych na temat aktywnego wykorzystania systemów UAV w zakresie zapewnienia funkcjonowania wewnętrznych procesów zarządzania przedsiębiorstwem. Na podstawie uzyskanych informacji można stwierdzić, że potrzeba wprowadzenia systemów UAV będzie w przyszłości kluczowa, jak również istnieje potrzeba opracowania zaleceń dotyczących zarządzania procesami wdrażania systemów UAV w poszczególnych sektorach przemysłu na Słowacji.

Strategic management is not universally employed by Polish entrepreneurs. What is interesting, the mentioned situation refers mainly to the sector of small and medium-size enterprises (SME). In such case, we should indicate the instruments supporting the process of introducing the strategic management solutions, especially ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) class systems which support operational as well as strategic planning. The purpose of the present paper is to determine the needs of constructing the awareness of the entrepreneurs, mainly from MSP sector, in respect of strategic and process management supported by available ERP class systems. Lack of the mentioned awareness and lack of the flow of information on effect of vision, mission and processes causes a lack of basis for implementation of the assumptions of strategic and process management. Due to the above reasons, the discussed process should be supported by informatics systems of ERP class. besides it, the enterprises seek nowadays for the methods of management which would allow optimum utilization of the available resources. It means that they try to find the answer to the following question: how to increase the number of the produced goods or the rendered services with the limited resources? The answer to the mentioned question has been given in the present paper.

Zarządzanie strategiczne nie jest powszechnie stosowane przez polskich przedsiębiorców. co ciekawe, taka sytuacja dotyczy głównie sektora MSP (małych i średnich przedsiębiorstw). W takim przypadku należy wskazać narzędzia wspierające proces wdrażania rozwiązań zarządzania strategicznego, zwłaszcza systemów klasy ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) wspierających planowanie zarówno operacyjne, jak i strategiczne. Celem artykułu jest określenie potrzeb budowania świadomości przedsiębiorców, głównie z sektora MSP, w zakresie zarządzania strategicznego i procesowego wspartego dostępnymi systemami klasy ERP. Brak świadomości i brak przepływu informacji o działaniu wizji, misji, procesów powoduje, że brakuje podstaw do wdrażania założeń zarządzania strategicznego i procesowego. Z tego powodu proces powinien być wspierany systemami informatycznymi klasy ERP. Ponadto, w obecnych czasach przedsiębiorstwa szukają metod zarządzania, które pozwolą na optymalne wykorzystanie dostępnych zasobów. czyli szukają odpowiedzi na pytanie: jak zwiększyć liczbę produkowanych wyrobów czy też świadczonych usług przy ograniczonych zasobach? Odpowiedź na to pytanie została podana w tym artykule.

The liquidation of the mine is the last and natural stage of mining activity. The activities related to the revitalization and restructuring of hard coal mines are carried out by Spółka Restrukturyzacji Kopalń S.A. (SRK S.A.), as the legal successor of previous mining operations. The implementation of the mine liquidation process has not been the subject of scientific research so far aimed at rationalization and minimization of the costs incurred. Activities leading to the liquidation of the mining plants are the procedural nature, however, the mine liquidation is always a single case which has a result in diversifying the size of outlays. The support for the implementation of the process approach in the issue of mine liquidation in terms of rationalization and minimization of the costs incurred in SRK S.A. was to develop a method of managing the costs of liquidation processes with the software for evaluation of its size. The proposed method signals to the designer that the estimated cost of the process of liquidation of another mining plant deviates from the average values previously worked out by SRK S.A. The range of acceptable values results from the assumed coefficient of data variation.

This research study explores the relationship between customer focus and the performance of construction projects undertaken by small companies. Additionally, process management in these companies has been studied as a mediator in explaining the relationship between customer focus and project performance. A moderated mediation model has been proposed to investigate the role of strategic planning and its effects on project outcomes. Data was gathered from 326 staff members working at different levels of management in some of Pakistan’s emerging construction companies owned by young entrepreneurs. The study’s findings revealed a positive relationship between customer focus and project performance mediated by process management. Moderation analysis indicates a significant relationship between process management and project performance when moderated by strategic planning. Constraints to the study have been identified, and suggestions for future research have been offered.

The globalized scenario of great competition in the corporate world and the use of new disruptive technologies, which are associated with a revolutionary innovation process, are leveraging current business models and awakening the latent need for companies to adapt definitively to this historic moment of transformation digital driven by the Pandemic of the new Coronavirus.In addition to the new commercial relationships using technology as a support base for all business processes, they are also highly dependent on the care with the privacy of the personal data used. Security incidents that occur with this data can drastically compromise the image of companies and also imply serious sanctions provided for in privacy laws such as the Brazilian LGPD - General Data Protection Law. Thus, this work aims to map state-of-the-art articles that address Digital Business Transformation Methodologies, aiming to understand how these methodologies can be replicated in companies to accelerate the reach of this new industrial revolution. A quasi-systematic review of the literature was carried out, involving the main methodologies created from the year 2011 and 127 studies were analyzed, and which 12 were considered relevant. The results show that the number of works related to Digital Transformation Methodologies is still very small and that it started to grow from 2017. The COVID-19 is one of the main reasons for last year's research. there is a diversity of countries studying the theme. Few articles refer to adequacy to the requirements of the privacy laws and protection of personal data existing in their countries.

The strategic scorecard represents a major element of an enterprise's management system, which contributes to improving the key areas of operation, as well as precisely defining operational goals, metrics and tasks within the strategical framework. Increasing competitiveness, as well as progressive globalisation of the Transport, Shipping and Logistics (TSL) services market, requires constant adaptation to change from managers. It is, therefore, appropriate to use the strategic scorecard as it can be applied for continuous monitoring of progress in the implementation of strategy and, if necessary, for enhancing actions and the measurement system. The authors analysed a transport company operating in the Podkarpackie Voivodship, with the implementation of the strategic scorecard. The purpose of this article was to create a strategic scorecard for the transport company in the context of streamlining transport processes, while simultaneously improving the quality of customer service, translating into maximising financial results.

Purpose: The cost of the subsidy of liquidated mine is about 250 million PLN. Because of such financial outlays it is relevant to lead the processes of rationalization and minimization of the costs incurred what requires a complex scientific approach. Design/methodology/approach: A statistical analysis of the course of the mine liquidation process in SRK S.A. was conducted. During the research panel survey and direct interviews were conducted with the Management Board of SRK S.A. and Directors of Branches. Findings: The presented method of signaling deviations of mining plant liquidation costs from the mean value is a useful tool while implementing a process approach in the issue of the liquidation of the mine. Research limitations/implications: The assessment method of the proposed mine liquidation process described in the publication is based on the analysis of total costs of liquidation. Further research will require the analysis of costs incurred in subsequent years of the liquidation processes. Practical implications: The method can be used during the initial estimation of the costs of mining plant liquidation as a benchmark for detailed cost estimation of liquidated mines. Social implications: The assessment method of the cost estimation of mining plant liquidation can be used as a reference point for detailed analysis and multi-criteria costs estimation of following liquidated mining plants. The cost accounting system is typical for SRK S.A. but thanks to some modifications the methodology can also be applied by another entity conducting the liquidation of mines. Originality/value: The presented cost assessment procedure may help The Management Board of SRK S.A. to monitor incurred costs (rationalization and minimization of the costs). The tool can be useful in effective liquidation of mining plants which is especially important in a situation where the scientific literature in this area is extremely scarce.

Purpose: The restructuring of hard coal mines needs significant financial outlays. Carrying out the rationalization and minimization of the costs requires a complex scientific approach. Design/methodology/approach: A statistical analysis of the liquidation processes in SRK S.A. on an annual basis was carried out as well as panel surveys and direct interviews with the Management Board of SRK S.A. and Directors of Branches. Findings: The presented method of signalling of leaving the acceptable cost zone is a useful tool while implementing a process approach in the issue of the liquidation of the mine. Research limitations/implications: The assessment method is based on the analysis of the total cost of liquidation. Further research will require the analysis of the connection between the structure and size of costs incurred in subsequent years of the liquidation processes. Practical implications: The method can be used in the initial cost estimation of liquidated mining plants as a cost management tool. Social implications: The method can be used as a comparison for a detailed analysis and a multi-criteria cost estimation of planned mining plants liquidation. After some modification, the methodology can also be applied by any entity carrying out the liquidation of mines. Originality/value: The presented procedure may help to monitor incurred costs (rationalization and minimization of the costs). The tool can be useful in effective liquidation of mining plants.
