The coal mining activity in Poland is characterized by its unique specificity and is significantly different from other types of economic activity in the market. This is due to several aspects inherent in the mining industry. All mining activities are based on mineral deposits. Mineral deposits, i.e. natural concentrations of minerals, rocks, other solids, gaseous and liquid substances (in the form of seams or other structures), the extraction of which can yield economic benefits, and which are the subject of mining extraction, are required for the functioning of mines and mining enterprises. The most common goal of the planning process is to determine the size of the extraction and the order and method of the deposit exploitation, ensuring the rational deposit management and the required level of safety of the activities carried out.

The aim of the work is to present selected exceptions of mining production planning in Polish enterprises of coals. The article presents among others planning the extraction of coal, planning the production of a given coal types, the selection of mechanization equipment in Poland.
