In the case of the energy sector (including mining companies) and the implementation of their development projects, it is necessary to obtain a social license to operate for a given project, which is associated with the involvement of various groups of stakeholders in the project and should be consistent with the company’s strategy. The basis for obtaining permission to operate is to conduct a stakeholder mapping process. Such an analysis will aid effective dialogue with all stakeholders and guide appropriate relationship building. The aim of this paper is to present the authors’ method of stakeholder mapping, which is an independent methodical idea that can be implemented in any enterprise. This paper comprehensively presents this algorithm, starting with the identification of stakeholder groups, through the determination of their level of interest and influence, ending with the construction of a matrix indicating the necessity of undertaking specific communication activities. Finally, the implementation of the created method in the form of a real business project is presented, the advantages are pointed out, and the possibilities and determinants of further development of this algorithm are presented. This method is proposed to companies from the energy sector, including those mining energy resources, as companies that have a significant impact on their social and environmental environment.

The paper presents an original algorithmfor a mining damage management system with a stakeholder communication component.The paper addresses the issue of communication with stakeholders of mining companies, more specifically, with local stakeholders (hosts) who face the problem of damage caused by the mining activities of companies. Efficient and effective communication in case of occurrence and reporting of damages is extremely important for the image and quality of relations with local communities. However, there is an apparent problem in the industry with the speed and efficiency of processing claims. The authors of the paper propose a procedural model to improve this process. The algorithm is based on the Servqual methodology, with parallel accounting,according to the project management triangle, of the elements of scope, finance, time, and quality. The algorithm is fully functional and comprehensive. Not only does it guide through the next steps, indicating times and personal responsibility, but it also includes draft input and output documents. It provides an effective guide for the conduct of each notification, describing the course of actions and indicating the necessary actions to be taken.

The aim of this work is to trace and present basic project documents and to present simplified project management on the example of a student project. The paper contains a short definition of the project and the growing popularity of project management. Then, a student project of AGH Lean Line, consisting in the construction of a construction project in the field of management and production engineering and promotional activities through conference trips, was presented. Project management is based on basic project documents, which were collected and briefly characterized according to the methodology developed in the scientific community. At the end, individual documents created for the AGH University of Science and Technology (AGH) project were presented.

The fast set-up of machines is a key element in reducing inventory in all areas of the company. They lead to the release of frozen capital. By gradually increasing the flexibility of the processes, it is possible to provide to customer expected value the value expected by him at the time when he needs it. The use of a system that shortens the set-up process leads to a situation in which we are able to produce smaller batches, which also allows us to reduce the level of stock in the entire company.

Nowadays, the only motivation for an employee to work efficiently is not salary. Modern companies are increasingly deciding to implement employee bonus systems. Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for these systems to not be transparent and easy for employees to interpret, which can be one source of conflict. The complexity and diversity of bonus systems in companies has become a topic of research undertaken by the Student Research Group “Management”. The first step for the project team implementing the study was to review the literature and other similar studies. An original survey was then created and distributed to potential respondents. Through the results of the survey, the project team was able to determine the effectiveness and often fairness of these employee bonus systems.

In line with the concept of a Circular Economy, one of the leaders of the cement industry in Poland has decided to search for alternative sources of raw materials for cement clinker production under the Limbra project. The students forming the project team from AGH UST, as one of the solutions, proposed the recovery of oxides from construction waste as an alternative raw material to produce cement clinker. To determine the viability and feasibility of this proposal, it was necessary to conduct a market analysis of potential raw material suppliers. This paper presents the results of the analysis.
