IT Tools

Lucrarea de față prezintă o continuare logică a lucrării "În căutarea unui "brici Ockham", care își propunea să reducă numărul de indicatori necesari evaluării activităţii organizaţiilor din sfera ştiinţei şi inovării şi de pregătire și atestare a cadrelor ştiinţifice, prezentată de autori la Conferința Institutului Național de Cercetări Economice în anul 2017. În urma unei analize minuțioase a indicatorilor de performanță utilizaţi pentru evaluarea activităţii cercetătorilor științifici, a instituţiilor de cercetare şi de pregătire a cadrelor ştiinţifice la nivel național, a practicilor europene și internaționale de evaluare a activităților de cercetare și de pregătire a cadrelor științifice, se propune cum trebuie elaborat un set optimal (unificat) de indicatori, ajustat la criteriile și standardele europene și internaționale în domeniu, de evaluare obiectivă, echitabilă și transparentă a activității din sfera științei și inovării și cea de pregătire a cadrelor științifice din Republica Moldova, care să facă rapoartele de activitate destinate instituțiilor care monitorizează activitatea acestora, Biroului Național de Statistică, mai laconice, mai clare, să excludă dublarea.

This paper presents a logical continuation of the article "Looking for an "Ockham's razor", which aimed to reduce the number of indicators required to assess the activity of science and innovation organizations and those concerned with researchers' trening and assessment, presented by the same authors at the Conference of the National Institute of Economic Research in 2017. Following a thorough analysis of the indicators used to assess the activity of scientific researchers, research and higher education institutions at the national level, as well as the evaluation practices used for similar organisations at European and international levels, proposals are made on how to develop an optimal, unified set of indicators, adjusted to European and international criteria and standards in the field, ensuring objective, fair and transparent evaluation of the activity of research and higher education institutions in the Republic of Moldova, in order to provide more laconic, clearer activity reports, excluding duplication, to the institutions monitoring the R&D area and the National Bureau of Statistics.

The article discussed was the role of IT tools supporting decisionmaking processes in mining companies, as well as indicated the location of modern production planning in the organizational structure of the mine. Some commercially available IT tools were presented that were used to create geological models and sample production schedules. Selected use of IT tools in daily operation of a mining company were posted and described in the article.
Każda eksploatacja złoża, zarówno metodami odkrywkowymi czy też podziemnymi, zaliczana jest do trudnych operacji górniczych. Opierają się one na łańcuchu procesów górniczych realizowanych na podstawie reguł zarządzania projektami. W nowocześnie zarządzanym przedsiębiorstwie górniczym tego typu projekty bazują na regułach wyznaczanych przez zasady Project Management Body of Knowledge, opracowanych przez specjalistów z zakresu zarządzania projektami. Rosnąca konkurencja na rynku surowców mineralnych, zdeterminowana przez otwieranie się rynku europejskiego na konkurentów spoza wspólnoty, wymusza szukanie nowych, niezawodnych rozwiązań w zakresie zarządzania produkcją w przedsiębiorstwie wydobywczym.
Górnictwo polskie, jako stosunkowo nowoczesne pod względem zaplecza maszynowego, zaczyna poszukiwać nowych rozwiązań obniżających koszty operacyjne swojej działalności, a jednocześnie poprawiających efektywność prowadzonej eksploatacji. W górnictwie światowym, motorem napędowym do rozpoczęcia, jak również realizacji każdego projektu górniczego – opartego na finansowaniu obcym – jest szczegółowe opracowanie zasobów geologicznych uwięzionych w skorupie ziemskiej i harmonogramu produkcji górniczej, który przedstawi w sposób obrazowy postępy eksploatacji w czasie, a jednocześnie pozwoli na pozyskanie potencjalnych inwestorów.
Podstawą takiego opracowania są narzędzia informatyczne zastosowane do wykonania zarówno modelu geologicznego, który jest elementem bazowym całego projekty i harmonogramu produkcji jako elementu stricte sfery górniczej. Studium wykonalności (feasibility study), sporządzane na podstawie obu projektów, stwarza szanse na przystąpienie do wykonywania robót górniczych zmierzających do eksploatacji złoża.

Selected aspects of the application of IT tools in the designing and scheduling of Mining production.

The article discussed was the role of IT tools supporting decisionmaking processes in mining companies, as well as indicated the location of modern production planning in the organizational structure of the mine.

This paper focuses on the role of the IT tools that have enabled the development of a decision support system, the Integrated Design System (IDS). The IDS facilitates the derivation of production related designs for structural steelwork, by integrating the information flow from each of the existing processes. It will enable the designer to investigate the effects of conceptual decisions on fabrication, transportation, and erection costs, and assess the constructability of designs, providing advice on feasible and economic alternatives. This has beneficial implications for the overall economy and constructability of the finished design.
