Multi-Level Digital Model Of Dynamic Earned Value Management For Complex Engineering Projects And Its Applications, Wei Wang, Dong Liu, Xinhao Cui, Bo Li, Yiyong Xiao, Yi Ren

Journal of System Simulation

The economic management of existing engineering projects is usually based on organizational structure, which presents problems such as complex processes and difficulty in clarifying main responsibilities when applied to complex engineering projects. In response to this limitation, a multi-level digital model of dynamic earned value management is proposed for complex engineering projects, which extends the traditional cost performance indicators to engineering resource utility indicators, thereby decomposing the earned value of costs into segmented earned values of different engineering resources. This enables managers to dynamically supervise projects based on traditional "schedule-cost" performance indicators and carry out more refined cost control …

Hierarchical Motion Planning Of Mobile Robot Based On Dynamic Corridor Inflation And Convex Optimization, Dingkun Zhang, Haizhao Liang

Journal of System Simulation

Motion planning for robots with Ackermann chassis in dynamic complex environments faces nonholonomic constraints and kinematic-dynamic coupling challenges. However, traditional methods suffer from path redundancy, random fluctuations, and local optimality. A hierarchical motion planning method based on dynamic corridor inflation and convex optimization is proposed. Topologically sparse paths are generated by fusing the Ramer-Douglas-Peucker (RDP) path compression operator with the A* algorithm to reduce redundant path points' interference with backend optimization. Dynamic corridor inflation strategies are designed considering Ackermann steering characteristics, and safe corridors satisfying kinematic constraints are constructed via convex decomposition. Corridor constraints are then transformed into linear inequalities …

Digital Lean Transformation Through Mes–Scada Intergration: Reducing Transactional And Cognitive Waste In High-Volume Electronics Manufacturing, Kamal Alalul

Graduate Dissertations and Theses

This research addresses inefficiencies in Manufacturing Execution System (MES)-driven workflows, where excessive user interactions and fragmented access to work instructions introduce transactional and cognitive waste. To address these limitations, an integrated architecture was developed using Ignition as a SCADA-based operator interface connected to the MES through API-based communication. The system replaces direct MES interaction with a unified interface that embeds work instructions and automates transaction execution within the production workflow. The approach was implemented and evaluated through an industrial case study on a 15 station electronics manufacturing line. Results show a 51% reduction in total cycle time, decreasing from 2,996 …

From Reactive To Predictive: A Hybrid Trust-Mediated Adoption Framework For Data-Driven Maintenance In Distributed-Authority Aviation Environments, Dustin J. Foote

International Journal of Aviation, Aeronautics, and Aerospace

Modern aviation maintenance operates within increasingly data-intensive technological environments, yet the operational integration of predictive maintenance into routine decision-making remains inconsistent across sectors. Contemporary aircraft incorporate centralized maintenance computers and condition monitoring architectures capable of fault aggregation, exceedance capture, and trend-based data collection. Although prognostics and health management research continues to advance detection and prediction methods, implementation outcomes often depend on factors beyond analytical performance alone.

This paper examines predictive maintenance adoption in distributed-authority aviation environments and argues that constraints emerge less from sensing capability than from organizational structure, decision authority dispersion, and institutional trust dynamics. For purposes of analysis, …

Review On Optimization Of Simulation Modeling Strategies For Spacecraft Orbit Avoidance, Guozheng Li, Rui Wang, Shichao Fan, Xintong Cai, Xinyue Zhai

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: The number of on-orbit spacecraft increases exponentially; the space environment becomes more complex, and the collision risk of on-orbit spacecraft increases significantly. On-orbit safety is thus severely threatened, posing higher requirements for orbit avoidance methods. The costs and risks of space activities are extremely high, making simulation an effective method to solve complex problems of orbit avoidance. The modeling, solution, and simulation methods for the two core issues of spacecraft orbit avoidance, "collision avoidance" and "pursuit-evasion games", were systematically reviewed, and the existing shortcomings were analyzed. The applications of technologies such as deep reinforcement learning in promoting orbit avoidance …
