A parallel test scheduling model for aero-engine altitude simulationtest facilities based on RCMPSP

The altitude simulation test facility is an essential testing infrastructure for developing advanced aero-engines. In recent years, the demand for altitude testing has surged continuously, leading to an increasingly prominent gap in testing capacity. Improving the efficiency of test scheduling has thus become a critical breakthrough direction. Operational research methods were innovatively applied by incorporating project management theory and resource-constrained multi-project scheduling problem (RCMPSP) theory to construct a multi-cell parallel test scheduling model for altitude simulation test facilities. Through comparative calculations based on simulation data, the feasibility and superiority of the proposed scheduling model have been verified, demonstrating that the RCMPSP-based parallel test scheduling method holds significant potential for engineering application in the planning and scheduling of altitude simulation test facilities.
