Abstract
In an example, a method is performed by a computing system that is one of a group of computing systems involved in facilitating a manufacturing of an aircraft. The method comprises generating a plurality of manufacturing task work statements (MTWSs), each MTWS being associated with a task involved in the manufacturing and comprising smart contract data and computer code. The method also comprises receiving system state information indicating (i) a schedule according to which the aircraft is to be manufactured, (ii) resources available for use in executing the MTWSs, and (iii) one or more aircraft certification requirements with which the tasks involved in the manufacturing of the aircraft are to comply. The method also comprises executing the MTWSs based on the system state information and storing, in a blockchain-based distributed ledger accessible by the group of computing systems, an end state result of the execution of each MTWS.
