Decision-making in hard coal mines with the support of selected stochastic methods

Abstract

The article presents selected methods of stochastic process modeling that can support decision-makers in Polish hard coal mines. It outlines the classification of determinants that have a significant impact on the processes carried out in the mines. The article also distinguishes between programmed and non-programmed decisions made by the management in the mines. In the following sections, three selected methods are presented, enabling decision-makers to make more effective decisions that may be crucial for the processes implemented in hard coal mines.
