The aerospace sector is important to Canada, with a contribution of close to twenty eight billion dollars to its gross domestic product, and more than one hundred and seventy thousands jobs in 2013. The industry also invests twenty percent of its activities in research and development, making it one of the most research and development intensive industries in the country. As Canada plans to enter the large jet market segment in 2015, the industry will be faced with an increasingly complex and uncertain product development context. Complex projects typically provide less benefit than anticipated, exceed their budgetary envelope, and are delivered late. Considering the very long product development cycles and payback periods found in aerospace, the Canadian industry benefits from significant governmental assistance. Enhancing the performance of the aerospace product development value streams becomes an urgent necessity, to ensure the continued competitiveness of the aerospace industry in Canada, to reduce the industry reliance on governmental assistance, and the risks associated with creating an inefficient industry. The objective of this research program is to contribute to the efforts towards the sustainable performance improvement and optimal value under uncertainty of the Canadian aerospace product development value streams. To achieve this objective requires taking into consideration multiple strategic and operational factors in the design, planning and control of the product development value streams. Such factors relate to the architecture of the product development value streams, methods of compliance to regulation; utilization and multitasking levels, product development task size and value, and uncertainty among others. The performance of aerospace product development value streams is affected by the lack of integrated decision making tools and processes incorporating such factors. The focus of this research program in the short term is on the discovery, modeling and quantification of factors influencing the performance of product development value streams, processes, projects, and products, the development of models relating factors levels to product development performance measures, the integration of factors into an adaptive product development stochastic modeling process to set desired factors levels over time for the design of the product development, and the development of advanced planning and control optimization models taking into consideration factors levels and uncertainty.  In the long term the concurrent use of multiple factors levels in both the design, and the planning and control of the product development value streams will result in creating innovative, robust and systematic optimization approaches supporting the sustainable enhancement of the aerospace industry product development performance.

航空航天行业对加拿大很重要，2013年为加拿大国内生产总值贡献了近280亿美元，创造了超过17万个工作岗位。该行业还将20%的活动投资于研发，使其成为中国研发最密集的行业之一。随着加拿大计划在2015年进入大型喷气式飞机市场，该行业将面临日益复杂和不确定的产品开发背景。复杂的项目提供的收益通常比预期的要少，超出了预算上限，而且交付延迟。考虑到航空航天领域非常长的产品开发周期和回收期，加拿大工业受益于政府的大量援助。提高航空航天产品开发价值流的绩效成为迫切需要，以确保加拿大航空航天工业的持续竞争力，减少该行业对政府援助的依赖，并减少与创建效率低下的行业相关的风险。该研究计划的目的是为加拿大航空航天产品开发价值流在不确定性下的可持续绩效改进和最优价值的努力做出贡献。为了实现这一目标，需要在设计、规划和控制产品开发价值流时考虑到多种战略和操作因素。这些因素涉及产品开发价值流的体系结构、遵守法规的方法、利用率和多任务级别、产品开发任务的大小和价值以及不确定性等。航空航天产品开发价值流的表现受到缺乏纳入这些因素的综合决策工具和程序的影响。这一研究计划的短期重点是发现、建模和量化影响产品开发价值流、流程、项目和产品绩效的因素，开发将因素水平与产品开发绩效度量联系起来的模型，将因素集成到适应性产品开发随机建模过程中，以随时间设置产品开发设计所需的因素水平，并开发考虑因素水平和不确定性的高级计划和控制优化模型。从长期来看，在设计中同时使用多个因素水平，以及对产品开发价值流的计划和控制将导致创造创新的、稳健和系统的优化方法，支持航空航天工业产品开发绩效的可持续提高。
