In the past, the optimization of engineering specifications primarily included the influence of quality loss terms on product quality; however, in actual production practice, compensation quantity inevitably affects the optimization quality of engineering specifications. In this paper, the quadratic exponential quality loss and gain function was first supplemented, and the quadratic exponential quality loss and gain function was constructed under the larger-the-better characteristic and the smaller-the-better characteristic; in order to accurately represent the change in compensation amount in the process of quality control, the optimization method of engineering specification under the calculation of quality loss and compensation was given in combination with the hyperbolic tangent function. Finally, with the support of the dam construction quality acceptance assessment, the engineering specification optimization model was tested. The optimal coefficient was obtained as 0.162, and the specification range was reduced from 0.744 to 0.648, achieving the optimization goal.

In project network planning, the correlation complexity of the processes is not only related to the immediately preceding and following processes, but also closely related to indirect adjacent processes. In the existing relevant studies, many scholars have considered the influence of direct adjacent processes but ignored the influence of indirect adjacent processes. In addition, the three-point time estimation method and Monte Carlo simulation are mostly used in the current research for the estimation of process duration, while less research exists on the estimation of process optimal duration under multi-objective constraints. Therefore, this paper proposes a buffer calculation model of critical chain based on adjacency information entropy. This methodology provides comprehensive consideration of the relationship between cost, quality, safety, environment and process duration, the influence of process’s resource demand intensity, resource constraints and process duration on the buffer size, the influence of the relay potential of mutual cooperation and cross construction between processes, as well as the influence of adjacent complexity of processes on the project construction schedule. The calculation example analysis shows that this method can improve the accuracy of the calculation of process safety time, reduce the influence of the complexity of process adjacency correlation on the project construction schedule, reasonably control the buffer size, and effectively shorten the planned project duration.
