As experience shows the practical, reliable assessment and optimisation of total costs of logistical processes implemented in supply chains
of foundry plants is a quite complex and complicated process, because it requires to enclose all, without exception, performed actions,
including them in various reference cross-sections, systematic activities and finally transforming them in a totally homogenous collection.
Only solid analysis and assessment of assortment management in logistical supply systems in foundry plants of particular assortment
groups allows to lower the supply costs significantly. In the article the analysis and assessment of the newest implemented optimising
algorithms are presented in the process stock management of selected material groups used in a production process of a chosen foundry
plant. A practical solution to solve a problem of rotary stock cost minimisation is given as well as of costs while creating a stock with the
usage of economical volume and value of order.
Traffic related noise is currently considered as an environmental pollution. Paper presents results of multidirectional study attempting to serve urban traffic without the need to erect noise barriers interfering urban space. Initial concept of the road expansion included construction of 1000 m of noise barriers dividing city space. Improvement in the acoustic conditions after construction completion is possible due to the applied noise protection measures: vehicle speed limit, smooth of traffic flow, use of road pavement of reduced noise emission and the technical improvement of the tramway.
