In the paper a dynamic, interactive approach to the control of the project realization time is proposed. The duration time of the project activities is assumed to depend on certain factors, whose influence may change in time. On the basis of the project history up to a certain moment, the change...

The paper presents a proposal of the Activity Balance Scorecard (ABSC). It is a combination of Activity Based Costing and a modification of Activity Based Management. Contrary to the traditional cascading of the Balanced Scorecard to organisational structures, ABSC is constructed directly for...

In the paper electricity load analysis was performed for a power region in Poland. Identifying the factors that influence the electricity demand and determining the nature of the influence is a crucial element of an effective energy management. In order to analyse the electricity load level the...

The critical chain method is a recent alternative to the traditional critical path method, an alternative which is becoming more and more popular, but still lacks a formal description. It exists more or less on the level of ideas and seems to have quite a lot of gaps and non-researched areas....
