This paper provides analysis of mines operating in Public Company for Underground Coal Exploitation (PCUCE-JPPEU), which is in restructuring process in excess of 10 years. Evaluation of these mines included analysis of performance and development potential of eight mines. Evaluation took into account a wide range of factors, considered to be most appropriate in relation to whether output and productivity could be increased and whether there are enough resources to justify the necessary investment. Based on AHP method and scores allocated for each factor, the mines were ranked according to technical potential.
