Quantification and mutual interdependence of the components of the potential of the energy model of the production system

Abstract

The subject of considerations in this paper are the components of the potential of the energy model of a production system. In the literature dealing with this problem, the components of the potential of the production system are not defined more precisely. Also, the problem of the relationship between components of the potential has not been considered. In this paper, concrete expressions for the potentials relating to the human resources, material resources and the potential regarding the means of work has been derived. Also, based on the derived formulas, the relationship between the aforementioned potentials of a production system was considered. The conducted analysis shows that in order to optimize business, one should not aim at simultaneously reducing the investment in all three mentioned resources. The key to business success is to synchronize investment into the potentials of human, material and technical resources.
