This article is focused on testing the mechanical properties of polymer concrete testing samples. After a thorough literature search, the basic conditions of the research were determined and under the standards, three types of samples of special new concrete mixtures were created as a building element for special CNC machines. The samples were subjected to the research of the influence of used fillers, binders and additives on their properties. Testing was carried out in a certified laboratory and included checking the dimensions of the test bodies, weighing on the calibrated weight, determining the volumetric weight, determining the maximum load of the testing samples using special devices and then determining the compressive strength, or flexural tensile strength according to the relevant formulas. The final part of the testing also examined the morphology and mapping of the chemical composition with a focus on carbon, oxygen and aluminum using an electron microscope. The obtained results clearly show an increase in tensile and compressive strength using dispersed carbon fibre reinforcement of approximately 4 MPa. The conclusion of the article provides an overall summary of the results obtained and a summary of the features.

Manufacturing products tailored to the individual requirements of customers is a must if companies want to compete effectively on the market. The production of customized goods poses new challenges for all areas of functioning of production systems. It is necessary to adopt such rules and methods that will allow a flexible response to product design changes and their demand In the organization of production flow (materials and information). The article presents research carried out in the SmartFactory laboratory of the Poznań University of Technology regarding the impact of the structure of products (customization) on the realization of current production orders. The research was carried out using the FlexSim simulation environment. Based on simulation experiments for three forms of organization of production flow with varying degrees of flexibility of production resources, an analysis was made of the time of execution of various sets of production orders and the level of use of available working time. The results of research indicate that in the production of products with low and high planned labor consumption, the use of universal production station is the most advantageous. For such a solution, the degree of utilization of the available working time of production stations is also the highest. It was also found that the principles of scheduling production orders affect the effectiveness of the production system. The best results were obtained for the production schedule, where the sequence of production orders was established from the lowest planned time of resource loading.

Technological processes play an essential task in the enterprise's production system. The behaviour and functioning of these systems cannot be predicted with certainty as they belong to a group of probable determinate structures. Generally, if we wanted to know precisely the behaviour of this condition in advance, we would have to be able to describe them mathematically or observe the action of the system on a real object. By applying discrete event simulation software, we realize the development of environmentally friendly products and using the simulation, we gain the certainty that the planned tasks can be implemented in a given time frame, while the simulation of the production process can help to clearly clarify and better understand the processes. To choose the optimal manufacturing ways of cleaning the fabrics component from waste tyres, we used the Witness discrete event simulation software to determine the usability and time occupancy of individual machines in the production of new fabric-based material. We simulated the ultrasonic method of cleaning the fabrics component from waste tyres and the subsequent creation of the test specimen. After the simulation, the obtained data can be used by a selection of type and number of machines and auxiliary equipment, by numbers of tools and fixtures, and by numbers of transport equipment. Obtained results bring the best layout of the workplace, the optimal dose of input materials and resources used in production. We have identified bottlenecks in the machines with long waiting times. The research priority was to reduce bottlenecks and increase the effectiveness of the entire of production line.

This paper proposes a mathematical model for the Consistent Vehicle Routing Problem (ConVRP). The ConVRP is an extension of the VRP, considering customer satisfaction through consistent service. The consistency may be based on time or on the vehicle that offers the service. This paper proposes a novel mathematical model that allows solving the ConVRP for several companies for which visits to the customers need to be from the same service provider (namely, the same vehicle and driver). The efficiency of the model is tested on structured instances by changing customer distribution (uniform or clustered), depot location, and arrival time to the customer and re‐ moving certain constraints to see if they affect the performance of the objective function. The mathematical model is flexible and could be adapted to any characteristic of instances. The model was devel‐ oped in the AMPL programming language and solved with the solvers CPLEX and Gurobi. The results are promising based on the efficiency of the proposed method at solving the problem. This paper proposes a mathematical mixed‐integer linear programming model to solve the ConVRP. The proposed model can determine the total travel time of a vehicle fleet for a certain number of specific days, which routes should be taken by each vehicle per day, and the vehicles' arrival time for each customer. The mathematical model was tested on structured instances by analyzing changes to aspects such as customer distribution (uniform or clustered), depot loca‐ tion, arrival time at the customer, and removing certain constraints that affect the performance of the objective function. The model was developed in the AMPL programming language and solved with the solvers CPLEX and Gurobi. Although a mathematical model for the ConVRP at‐ tracts growing attention due to the few studies related to the problem. The mathematical struc‐ ture of the model is novel, and to the best of the author's knowledge, this is the first time a model for the ConVRP solves real and structured instances for companies that provide a consistent service over time, such as courier companies, elderly care service companies, and cleaning sec‐ tors, under realistic constraints.
