Abstract

Abstract: Purpose; The purpose of this paper is to provide a state-of-art review on variation modeling and propagation in aircraft assembly based on process-oriented strategy. And the main focus is on classifying and delineating different approaches, methods, and techniques with critical appraisals of their theories, applications, and limitations, based on which future research directions and corresponding methodologies are proposed.

Design/methodology/approach; To facilitate understanding of the background, this paper starts with a brief description of aircraft assembly. Afterwards, this paper presents a comprehensive review of practical solutions in aircraft variation modeling. Their characteristics are summarized, which serves as a basis for the discussion of deviation control strategies. Thereafter, the possible trends are discussed to facilitate assembly quality control in future research.
