Capacity and resource allocation in flexible production networks by a game theory model

Abstract In many production applications, plants that produce multiple products with random demands share the required items among suppliers. The decision of how to allocate requests between suppliers achieve desired level customer service is relevant efficiency network. literature highlighted long chain has same performance as full flexible This research proposes a model based on game theory improve uses Gale-Shapley algorithm low computational complexity demand A simulation environment allows evaluation proposed in different conditions, and compared dedicated, flexibility, models. numerical results show improves by keeping number connections supplier closer model.
