The briefing was organized on March 17 at the headquarters of KW in Katowice, attended by Energy Minister Krzysztof Tchórzewski, Deputy Minister Grzegorz Tobiszowski, president of the Coal Company Tomasz Rogala and parliamentarians participating in the audit Senator Adam Gawęda and deputy Krzysztof Sitarski.
a team of experts headed by Senator Adam tales for a few weeks analyze in detail the situation of individual mines belonging to the Coal company and the policy of the company in terms of production, sales, investment and employment. Experts who have worked for the Ministry of Energy socially, without charging any remuneration, pointed to a number of causes and events that accumulated led to the current, very difficult situation Coal Company.
Minister Krzysztof Tchórzewski explained that doubt related to the method of appointment of a new company (Polish mining Group) have decided on a novel approach to the audit.
– Seeing that after eight years of our predecessors mining were in a deplorable state had to diagnose the cause. It’s a fact that when the mining industry generated profits of money in the form of dividends was taken, and when it was difficult to help was not. The second thing is that the transactions between the mines caused accumulating problems. Hence the idea unusual today, the appointment of the individual companies mining social groups, led by people originating from the mining industry and with social authority. For this reason, the Coal Company team heads the senator Adam Gawęda, and its composition was deputy Krzysztof Sitarski – said the minister of energy.
The Minister said that after hearing (together with the social) reports on the work of the team is satisfied with his decision about his vocation.
Grzegorz Tobiszowski, Deputy Minister of energy stressed in turn that the intention of the Ministry, during the creation of the Polish Group mining is not only dosypywanie funds to the budget of the company, but to finally heal the mining side management effectiveness, and other quality of decision-making. Such thinking lay the basis for a decision to start the audit.
– When creating PGG and we are negotiating with investors, we start already with the conclusions of the audit. This audit is a confirmation of certain information, in which case the Coal Company. It is worth emphasizing that this is not the only such initiative, because the same principle work is underway in KHW and JSW. It is also to show that the different qualitative approach to the situation in the coal sector: on the one hand, the analysis conducted by experts associated with the company, the other made public this information and transfer them to the public, which from the very beginning invited to dialogue and joint development of a strong sector coal in Poland – said the deputy minister.
As noted in a briefing participants, audit coal Company showed the need for change. Unsuccessful projects, the lack of restructuring and repair, misuse of resources, mines and huge cost companies strangers are the main reasons for the difficult situation faced by the current Coal Company.
bad use of resources
the most important, in addition to the drop in coal prices, experts found a bad use of resources mines belonging to the KW, including outphase exploitation activities on the border of fields of neighboring establishments. An example is m. Al. operation led by Marcel mines and Jankowice in part Marklowicka. Experts have identified the lack of system solutions for the efficient and effective planning of the production process, low productivity and lack of full utilization of machinery and equipment in mines and the lack of walls with a high concentration of extraction. It was pointed out that currently 28 active mining walls, only three achieved a production of more than 5 thousand. t daily. Experts call to target each mine had at least one wall with a high concentration of extraction.
too many managerial positions
During the audit it was also found that the organization charts in the company they are too highly developed. This results in too many managerial positions and directorships in both the mines and the control KW and too many non-productive sectors. The Commission proposes to simplify the structure, so that the arrangement has become effective. The committee members also pointed out that the mines are still employs approx. 600 people with pension rights. Many employees purchased it a few years ago, a record should retire in 2001.
Ill investments
Coal Company limps also investment planning. Auditors pointed out that the biggest investment in the years 2013-2015 was carried out in the mines nierentowanych when they should take place mainly in the mines and areas which have the prospect of functioning. Audit also showed that often the management of mines not weryfikowało profitability of investments in the implementation phase. An example is misguided investment calls mines Sośnica and Makoszowy, which then were disconnected.
Too much external services
serious problem, according to the auditors, is a significant increase in external services performed in mines. According to the committee, commissioned the system must be carried out only specialized scope of work, and the work typically mining should be entrusted to own employees or allocated the mines for excessive employment. Heavy burden Coal Company have been in recent years, advisory services, which in 2011-2015 absorbed approx. 45 million zł. Commission asks for verification of foreign companies in terms of fitness and procurement costs.
Organize the sale of coal
Commission has also proposed to Coal Company improved its supervision of its own distribution network of coal and accurately examined the domestic market demand in individual segments. According to the auditor is also required to organize sales and the recovery of the market.
Auditors pointed out that a serious mistake was a departure from the mine complex and Coal Company should continue this direction.
Tomasz Rogala, President of Company Coal has declared that all applications will be reviewed and necessary changes implemented in life. Reserved, however, that the effect will not be seen right away.
