Orders dispatching game for a multi-facility manufacturing system

This paper proposes a novel decision algorithm on higher-level work orders dispatching problems under a holistic manufacturing configuration of multiple facilities. The multi-facility work order dispatching problems have been formulated as a stochastic nonautonomous Lotka–Volterra difference game. A closed loop control scheme with discrete event dynamical system is proposed based on the setup of evolutionary game. Our results show the viability and advantage of proposed dispatching scheme.
