Abstract

The object of the study is the project-production activity of project-oriented enterprises in the fields of mechanical engineering, aircraft construction, shipbuilding, instrumentation, and metallurgy.

The problem addressed was the informational integration and synchronization of project management processes, implemented by a specific project-oriented enterprise, with the management of its production processes using digital twins. The solution to this problem is aimed at improving the efficiency of project-production management by utilizing digital twins of projects and production in the planning process.

The influence of trends on the development of digital technologies was analysed. The need to consider both project and operational activities of enterprises in mechanical engineering, aircraft construction, shipbuilding, instrumentation, and metallurgy as a single project-production activity was identified. It was shown that this approach can be successful when processes and changes in project-production activity can be modelled, forming a rational plan for product release and project execution. The use of digital twins for objects and processes in project-production activities was proposed.

The aim and objectives of the study were formulated, focusing on the creation of a concept for planning project-production activities using digital twins for objects and processes in both project and operational activities.

The concept defines the structure of the digital environment for project-oriented production, a model of the interpenetration of project and production planning processes, an aggregated critical path method, and simulation modelling for planning project-production activities using digital twins. It was shown that to model project-production activities, models and methods for managing the interaction between the operational and project processes of the company must be applied. It was proposed to use the scientific and practical tools of information interaction theory to manage this interaction.

The results of applying the concept in project-oriented companies were demonstrated. The use of tools created based on the proposed concept allowed a reduction in project execution time by 10–15 % and a decrease in production costs by 5–10 % due to effective planning of project-production processes
