The reorganization of the supply chain in the aerospace industry has led to a new situation for small and medium-sized enterprises (SME). The suppliers are forced to deliver completed systems instead of components and assemblies. In order to react to the changed requirements, one possible solution is the project-oriented and temporary cooperation of SME by building a Virtual Organization in ord...

Lean techniques are having a major impact on aerospace manufacturing. However, the cost and value of aerospace (and many other) products is determined primarily in product development. Migrating lean to engineering processes is ongoing in the industry, and a subject of study at the MIT Lean Aerospace Initiative. This paper summarizes findings to date, with references to both research literature...

This paper presents a computational framework for uncertainty quantification in prognostics in the context of condition-based monitoring of aerospace systems. The different sources of uncertainty and the various uncertainty quantification activities in conditionbased prognostics are outlined in detail, and it is demonstrated that the Bayesian subjective approach is suitable for interpreting unc...

A novel approach to the modeling and control of aerospace system design problems is presented. By integrating recent advances in probabilistic robust design and technology assessment methods with a traditional control system feedback architecture, the approach is intended to establish a unified structure for managing complex design problems under uncertainty. The notions of plant, state variabl...

This paper considers the problem of certifying the performance of a class of model-based fault detection schemes. The underlying plant is assumed to be a linear time-varying (LTV) system subject to a Markov-switching fault input. The fault detection scheme consists of two parts: an LTV component that produces a scalar residual and a static nonlinear function that infers the presence of a fault ...

Aerospace systems have strict dependability and real-time requirements, as well as a need for flexible resource reallocation and reduced size, weight and power consumption. To cope with these issues, while still maintaining safety and fault containment properties, temporal and spatial partitioning (TSP) principles are employed. In a TSP system, the various onboard functions (avionics, payload) ...
