Abstract
Planning in a mining enterprise is a complex and multifaceted action. For this reason, it is necessary
to provide its proper organisation and adjust it to the specific conditions of conducting underground
mining extraction. The prepared plans must make up a cohesive internal system, unambiguously
determining the manner, range and safety requirements of the conducted extraction. In the most general
manner, the various types of plans developed by organisational units of mining enterprises can be
divided based on the timeframe, type, scope and object of planning. These are strategic plans, tactical
plans and subject-based plans. The aim of the article is to present the issue of production planning
in a mining enterprise and for the preparation of such a plan, first and foremost, information about,
among other things, applicable legal regulations, market conditions and the specificity of a mining
enterprise are necessary. Underground extraction of black coal deposits must be conducted while
respecting the rules of sustainable development which satisfies current needs, without compromising
the ability to satisfy the needs of future generations. Due to the specific nature of mining production,
manifested, among other things, by such features as the diversity of conditions for conducting the
activity, resulting from the changing geological-mining conditions of the deposit, low flexibility of
the production process, associated with the impossibility to conduct alternative production and a very
long-lasting investment process, planning the course and magnitude of production in a mining enterprise
must proceed with the highest possible diligence. One should take into account a wide range
of presented environmental, organisational and technical conditions, deciding about the safety and
correctness of the course of the assumed production activities. However, in order to make them economically
feasible and produce satisfying results in that regard, it is also necessary to analyse them
carefully with respect to financial outcomes
