Abstract:

With the development of the new generation of information technologies and shared economics, third-party shared manufacturing platforms (TPSMPs) are booming. Such platforms support the sharing of production capacity between manufacturing enterprises by integrating the dispersed and idle capacity of manufacturing enterprises in the market and matching capacity demand and supply. That is, manufacturing enterprises with overcapacity (capacity suppliers) in the TPSMP can share their surplus capacity, and manufacturing enterprises with insufficient production capacity (capacity demanders) can find suitable capacity suppliers and use their surplus capacity. In practice, considering the mismatch between capacity supply and demand in quantity, the order from one capacity demander on the TPSMP cannot usually be fully satisfied by a single capacity supplier, thus the capacity demander will allow the TPSMP to split its order to multiple capacity suppliers. Order splitting will incur additional cooperative costs, different capacity matching decisions will also affect the profitability of the TPSMP. Meanwhile, to guarantee that orders are fully satisfied, the TPSMP needs to decide not only which capacity suppliers to match with the capacity demanders, but also the matching quantities of the corresponding capacity suppliers, which complicates the TPSMP's capacity matching decisions.The main work of our paper includes the following three parts. First, focusing on the capacity matching problem of the TPSMP based on order splitting, the capacity split matching model maximizing the profit of the TPSMP is constructed considering the capacity of supply and demand quantity, price, minimum matching quantity, etc. Second, to solve the model, a two-stage heuristic method is designed combining greedy algorithm (GA) and large neighborhood search algorithm (LNS). In the first stage, GA is applied to generate an initial feasible solution, in the second stage, LNS is adopted to improve the initial feasible solution. Finally, through numerical examples, the effectiveness of GA-LNS is verified, and some insights are obtained.The main results show that (1) the revenue of the platform and the total revenue of the suppliers increase positively with the decrease of the minimum matching quantity acceptable for capacity suppliers; (2) the effectiveness of the two stage heuristic algorithm GA-LNS is verified by comparing with the results obtained by GUROBI and variable neighborhood search algorithm (VNS); (3) the variation range of the relative deviation index (RDI) of the results obtained by GA-LNS is very small, and the GA-LNS algorithm has good stability. Our algorithm can obtain high quality solutions in a short time, which provides theoretical reference and decision-making basis for third-party shared manufacturing platform to solve the capacity matching problem considering order splitting.
