Studies of Autonomous Decentralized Manufacturing System (1st Report, Optimization of Single-Period Production Planning Problem by Noncooperative Game)
In this paper, a method for the decentralization of multi-stage manufacturing systems is proposed under the noncooperative game. Necessary optimality conditions and Nash equilibrium solution as optimal production plan are derived for single-period production planning problem of autonomous decentralized manufactuing systems that consists of multistages. Numerical examples are solved to examine the validity of the proposed approach.
