Production Networks as Communities of Autonomous Units and Their Stability
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, discrete variants of production networks are considered as they can be encountered in the literature. On one hand, they are modeled as communities of autonomous units in the framework of graph transformation. On the other hand, a sufficient criterion for the stability of a production network is given where stability means that there exist suitable storage capacities at the production sites that never flow over.

A Multiagent Reinforcement Learning algorithm to solve the Community Detection Problem
Community detection is a challenging optimization problem that consists of searching for communities that belong to a network under the assumption that the nodes of the same community share properties that enable the detection of new characteristics or functional relationships in the network. Although there are many algorithms developed for community detection, most of them are unsuitable when ...
متن کاملModeling production networks with discrete processes by means of communities of autonomous units
Communities of autonomous units are devices for the visual modeling of interactive logistic processes. The framework is founded on rule-based graph transformation and allows specifying autonomous units in such a way that they can run in parallel and make their decision about future actions independently of each other. The usefulness of the framework is demonstrated in this paper by modeling a n...
متن کاملAutonomous Units and Their Semantics - The Parallel Case
Communities of autonomous units are rule-based and graph-transformational devices to model data-processing systems that may consist of distributed and mobile components. The components may communicate and interact with each other, they may link up to ad-hoc networks. In this paper, we introduce and investigate the parallel-process semantics of communities of autonomous units.
متن کاملStability of International Production Networks: Is East Asia Special?
Trade relationships built through production chains appear to be lasting due to relation-specific nature of the transactions, compared with the usual transactions of goods sold on the open market. This paper aims to verify such stability of international production networks at the global level, with special emphasis on intra-East Asian trade. A series of survival analyses provide an evidence su...
متن کاملCollaborative Planning in Competence-Cell Based Networks
Autonomous, elementary units of production, co-operating in temporary networks, are considered as a key organisational form of enterprises in the 21st century. A scientific approach is provided by networks based on customeroriented, directly linked, smallest autonomous business units called Competence Cells. This approach leads to new requirements for the planning of production systems of such ...
