Matrix Management And Information System Design Of Space Remote Sensor Laboratory In JWS Of CAS

The development of space remote sensing instrument is a long cycle, difficult and multidisciplinary engineering project. The research and management team for such projects need advanced management concepts and tools, as well as some management innovations, to assure the development of the projects.In this thesis the characteristics of the project management and information systems of nationwide and worldwide aerospace industries are first reviewed, followed by a detailed analysis of the management reform, in face of self-difficulties and development opportunities, in a branch of a typical aerospace research related institute under Chinese Academy of Science(CAS). The emphasis is laid on the management model transition from the traditional management under the culture of CAS to a specifically designed matrix management model for the research branch's "technology research" plus "project engineering" double cultural characteristics. This model puts the responsibility-matrix-management mode as its core, sets the basic management strategy by handling the project management and technological group development in parallel through combining the phased projects work breakdown structure(WBS) with scientists'job responsibility, and later on designs the branch's EDN information system matrix management forum. Finally, the overall effects, efficiency improvement and personal satisfaction are evaluated after the implementation of the matrix management and its information systems, which proves that this management reform plan indeed improves the branch's operation and two-dimensional management.
