On the problem of efficient task distribution among available equipment during the elimination of emergency situations

Thu, 31 Aug 2023 00:00:00 +0300

Purpose: To construct a mathematical model of the problem of efficient task distribution among available equipment at a single recovery site, develop an algorithm for solving such problems, and generate a set of efficient solutions using a specific example.

Method: The constructed model represents a linear programming problem with two quality indicators: time and cost of task execution. For the considered problem, a set of admissible work volumes for each excavator complex is constructed, which forms a segment in space. As a numerical example, a problem with three types of excavators is considered. To solve it, a program for calculations in the Maple analytical computation system is developed, which determines the set of efficient solutions and establishes the graphical and analytical relationship between the cost of work execution and the time spent on it.

The results of the study: The mathematical model has been constructed for the problem of efficient task distribution among available equipment at a single recovery site. The algorithm has been developed to solve problems of this type, and a set of efficient solutions has been generated.

Theoretical implications: The results of the conducted research are beneficial for application in planning the restoration work of transportation infrastructure objects and critical infrastructure objects associated with the movement of large volumes of earth masses.

Value: The study presents a mathematical model for the problem of efficient task distribution among available equipment at a single recovery site during the elimination of emergency situations. The model takes into account the specified quantities of excavator types and each type's constraint on the number of transportation vehicles, which affects the idle time of the latter.

Management and Society 5.0

Tomasz Czapran — Thu, 31 Aug 2023 00:00:00 +0300

While technology and digital transformation are developing, today’s society is rapidly changing. In this context, current management and strategies are becoming outdated, which raises the need to adapt to new challenges and keep pace with innovation. One option that seeks to bring new solutions is the concept of Society 5.0 which combines technological progress and sustainable development, and attempts to achieve a balance between them, ensuring the well-being of all members of society.

Society 5.0 emphasises the creation of socially beneficial solutions, human needs, and improving the quality of life, not just economic growth. Successful implementation of this concept requires quality management that is open to new mindsets, strategies, and approaches to management with a focus on sustainability, innovation, and collaboration. In Industry 5.0, success depends more than ever on management’s ability to understand and address the challenges posed by new technologies. Therefore, it is necessary to think about the key skills and capabilities that a manager should have in order to successfully manage an organisation in the context of Society 5.0.

The aim of this paper is to analyse the challenges associated with the management and implementation of the Society 5.0 concept, as well as to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats in this area, and to provide an overview of the key factors for successful management in the context of Society 5.0. In the first part, the theoretical background of this paper will be set, which will be applied for the subsequent analysis. The theoretical part focuses specifically on the definition and description of Society 5.0, and the key elements of this concept. It also focuses on new approaches to management that are key to management in this area, as well as defines the role and importance of SWOT analysis in management and strategic planning.

Based on a comparative analysis of relevant sources, the SWOT analysis will be performed in the practical part as a tool for assessing strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats in relation to the new concept of Society 5.0. The results of the analysis will be evaluated, summarised, and finally recommendations will be made. This text will be useful for managers and executives who want to better adapt themselves to the new era of digital transformation and sustainable development.
