Development of a toolkit for managing the life cycle of a product taking into account its potentials

The article presents the results of research, as well as sets forth theoretical and mathematical models of life cycle management systems for products of the aviation industry using the theory of potentials. A new category has been introduced for managing the life cycle of an object - potential. Aim. Develop a toolkit for life cycle management based on the potentials of the object. An aircraft engine unit was selected as an object. Methods. The basis for the formation of new tools may be a previously unremarked property of an object, which manifests itself as a result of significant transformations in the external environment and contains new information about the object. The trend towards the development of information support for the stages of the life cycle creates new theories and approaches, among which the theory of potentials is presented. It is assumed that the developed toolkit can be formalized for all components of an aircraft engine at any stage of the life cycle. The accumulated potential analysis is related to past changes. Time is counted against the flow of time. Life cycle potential is calculated as the accumulated potential of all threads. A necessary element is the construction of a business model of the process, which includes a data model, a model of the organizational structure of departments involved in the technological process and a functional model of the process. Results. A mathematical model of product lifecycle management is developed using the following categories: accumulated and predicted potentials. Potentials are calculated based on the initial data of the enterprise for the object of study. The accumulated potential takes into account the materialization of past data streams, therefore analysis and modeling are linked to past changes. The meaning of the predictive potential is to determine the market value of future payments. Collectively, the payments are assumed to determine the market value of the asset associated with them. Conclusion. The existing structure of organizational, functional elements and data elements of the object is sufficient to determine the accumulated potential. Indeed, in relation to assets, it is possible to calculate the predicted and accumulated potential where there is a clear trend in the potential change. The feasibility of calculating the potential instead of using the initial data is caused by the great adequacy of the potential model.
