“…The physiological efficiency index is an indicator of the conditions of plant growth, including the parameters of soil fertility, climate elements, and plant production potential, as well as the policies of fertilization and plant protection. Its low values indicate the occurrence of a stress factor that limits the plant growth [43][44][45][46]. The cause of the problem cannot be indicated based on the value of the physiological efficiency index.…”

Optimization of plant nutrition is a very important part of primary production quality systems. Crop fertilization is the most important agrotechnical measure because it determines the amount and quality of the yield. Moreover, excess fertilization intensifies the eutrophication processes and the greenhouse effect. The study aimed to assess the suitability of slow-release fertilizers in cultivation of carrot subspecies Daucus carota L. ssp. sativus in the integrated production system. The objective was realized on the basis of a strict field experiment set up on a clay loam soil with low nutrient content. The dose of fertilizer was the experimental factor. The fertilizers were applied during the formation of the ridges. Traditional fertilizers (ammonium phosphate, potassium salt, ammonium nitrate, and a multi-component fertilizer Polifoska 6), as well as a multi-component fertilizer with slow release of nutrients, NPK Mg (18-12-24-4), were used. In individual variants of the experiment, different fertilization strategies were applied: integrated production fertilization, traditional fertilization, and fertilization based on the use of slow-release fertilizers. The control treatment comprised of unfertilized plants. The efficiency of nitrogen fertilization was evaluated based on agronomic efficiency, partial factor productivity, physiological efficiency, and removal efficiency. Fertilization strategy significantly impacted the quantity of obtained yield. In the control sample, prior to mineral fertilization, the crop yield was 33.53 Mg·ha −1 . The largest yield was 82.30 Mg·ha −1 .The largest yields were obtained from plants fertilized with a combination of slow-release fertilizers, with nitrogen introduced in the form of ammonium phosphate, and through conventional fertilization. The highest productivity and environmental efficiency were obtained in treatments with fertilization according to the principles of integrated production and with slow-release fertilizers. In terms of environmental efficiency, the best results were obtained through nitrogen fertilization using 400 kg of slow-release fertilizers. The use of slow-release fertilizers in carrot cultivation can significantly improve the efficiency of fertilization, both in terms of production and environmental protection.

The Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) has become an index of efficiency in terms of the use of machinery, equipment and production resources. It allows entrepreneurs to learn where to look for modest losses, and can be used to eliminate them. The main purpose of determining the OEE is to confront the theoretical use of machinery with the actual one, using a relationship of three main elements: availability, use and quality. The purpose of the paper is to present the experience of the use of the OEE in optimization of production processes in a production company. The most important factor in analyzing the overall effectiveness index of the equipment is choosing the right method for collecting and processing data. The best-known method is filling in of a worksheet by line employees. An analysis was carried out in a production company, determining the SLE production line performance index and using Pareto analysis results, based on data from May 2014 to June 2015. The bestperforming component of the OEE is quality, the value of which has not dropped below 95% over the period considered., 0

The aim of the paper is to present the results of introducing the SMED method on one of the production lines in a selected production company. For the purposes of this study, a single bottling line for filling 200 ml and 250 ml glass bottles with carbonated drinks was selected. Upon analyzing the process of mixer washing in terms of time, it was shown that in individual steps, the total single washing time was 5 hours 3 minutes on average, which accounted for about 19% of the total retooling of the production line. However, after using the SMED method, this process has taken 3 hours 50 minutes. Thus, a saving of 1 hour 13 minutes was obtained after shortening the retooling, which allowed to extend the production process.
