Application of Digital Twins of Project-Oriented Productions in Digital Project Management

The article analyses the impact of new global trends, such as Industry 4.0, on the development of IT technologies in project management, thus allowing the authors to identify the necessity of creating digital project management systems in alignment with the concepts, ideas, principles, and provisions shaping of Industry 4.0. The research aims and objectives have been formulated, focusing on the development of digital project management through the utilization of digital twins for project-oriented manufacturing in enterprises within the mechanical engineering, aviation, instrumentation, and metallurgical sectors. An approach based on the creation and utilization of digital twins for project-oriented manufacturing has been developed in the context of digital transformation within enterprises. The authors have defined the structure of a digital environment for hosting the digital twin of project-oriented manufacturing within the proposed approach. Additionally, a method for planning enterprise activities using digital project and manufacturing twins, along with the goals and procedures for employing digital twins in digital project management, has been outlined. The authors highlight that contemporary models and methods for managing the interaction between operational and project processes at enterprises are essential for project-oriented manufacturing with the use of digital twins. Scientific and practical tools based on matrix information technologies have been proposed for managing this interaction. Furthermore, practical results of utilizing digital twins in the activities of an aircraft manufacturing enterprise and a complex geological equipment manufacturing enterprise have been showcased.
