Abstract: The contribution deals with model of operative scheduling of production on the facility for continuous casting of steels. Starting point for the increase of efficiency of complicated decision-making processes is the transfer to the decision-making based on the exact, scientific knowledge. [..] Read more

Abstract: The article specifies the economic and environmental efficiency in the metal industry in individual EU countries in 2015. The study applies Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), which is a non-parametric method based on production theory and the principles of linear programming. [..] Read more

Abstract: Sustainable development concept assumes appropriately and consciously configured relationship between economic growth, environmental care and quality of life. When a large exploitation of natural resources and emerging waste, the problem of the waste utilization became an important thing. [..] Read more

Abstract: The aim of this article is to present the directions of steel consumption in Poland, and to show the impact of economic conditions on this distribution. The study covered the period from 2006 to 2016. [..] Read more

Abstract: The article presents a method of defining costs of a gradual shaft production process using FlexSim simulation software. One of the key concepts used in the article is a computer simulation, which is necessary for the efficient and quick implementation of this type of research. [..] Read more

Abstract: Dynamically changing conditions of business activity, rapid development of new technologies, increasing intensity of competition, progressing globalisation pose for entrepreneurs new, much more difficult principles than before, especially due to the increase of intensity and complexity of the environment. It is reflected in the necessity of continuous improvement of processes and their quick reorganisation.The aim of the article is to analyze individual stages of the heat treatment process to indicate the complications, errors and quality defects of products created at the manufacturing stage. [..] Read more

Abstract: The new Industry 4.0 concept gives new development opportunities to large enterprises. It allows you to build a competitive advantage in the market and significantly increases their competitiveness. [..] Read more

Abstract: The article deals with the issue of wastes from the predominantly imported raw material sources of drawn high-carbon and low-carbon wire. The acquired knowledge is based on an analysis in a selected spectrum of branches and disciplines dealing with the processing of wire and wire products in the conditions of the Czech Republic. [..] Read more

Abstract: In addition to meeting customer requirements and maintaining competitiveness, enterprises must now include social responsibility in their strategy, with particular emphasis on ecology. This trend is partly forced by changes in environmental protection regulations, including waste management. [..] Read more

Abstract: The aim of the contribution is to point out the possibilities of using computer simulation for the needs of more effective metallurgical production. Like many other tools and methods, logistics also greatly contributes to maintaining the company's competitiveness and resilience to external factors such as the crisis, inflation, falling demand, and so on. [..] Read more

Abstract: The paper presents the current state of metal recycling. The types of metals subjected to the recycling process and the course of the process are described. [..] Read more

Abstract: This paper is dedicated to financial performance evaluation of metallurgy industry of the Czech Republic. Financial performance of the industry or company is a random process, which can be decomposed into the particular indicators. [..] Read more

Abstract: In Poland titanium-vanadium-magnetite ore deposits are located near Suwałki. In the eighties and nineties of the last century, several research centers conducted research into the possible future use of these ores in the Polish metallurgy. [..] Read more

Abstract: The publication presents the most important quality determinants in the metalworking industry. It discusses the structure of processes involved in the technology of metals. [..] Read more

Abstract: The paper describes the activity of a manufacturing plant, operating in the metal industry. The discussed business entity intends to expand its production scope by applying anti-corrosion coatings to metal components. [..] Read more

Abstract: The paper presents the analysis of the application of FMEA method of storage system in the area of a metallurgical enterprise performing gray iron castings according to the PN-EN 1561: 2000 and PN-92 / H-83101 standards as well as alloy cast iron. Casting is a technology for making objects by filling molds with liquid metal. [..] Read more

Abstract: The article presents efficiency and labour productivity analysis of Polish metal industry in 2010-2016. The study applies the Malmquist Productivity Index (MPI), which was used to analyze changes in metal industry productivity. [..] Read more

Abstract: The identification and assessment of the frequency and the power of the influence as well as the results of disruptions, are essential problems noticed both by practitioners and theoreticians of flow management in supply chains. They are part of a widely discussed problem of the resilience of a supply chain. [..] Read more

Abstract: The mathematical model and computer simulation for prediction of mechanical properties of cast steel was developed. Because of wide range of applicability and ease of use of finite volume method (FVM), this numerical method was suitable to create integrated computer program for simulation of transient temperature field in process of solidification and cooling of casting.Distribution of hardness of cast steel has been predicted by conversion of calculated cooling times from 800 to 500 °C to the hardness. [..] Read more

Abstract: In this work we propose a novel way to simulate solidification during continuous processes using a Generalized Finite Difference Method (GFDM). The meshfree nature of this approach gives the advantage of naturally capture the motion and phase boundaries reconstruction without the need of adaptive remeshing algorithms. [..] Read more
