We study certain bijection between plane partitions and $\mathbb{N}$-matrices. As applications, we prove a Cauchy-type identity for generalized dual Grothendieck polynomials. We introduce two statistics on plane partitions, whose generating functions are similar to classical MacMahon's formulas; one of these statistics is equidistributed with the usual volume. We also show natural connections with the longest increasing subsequences of words.
