Research On Decision-making Of Firm's Surplus Resources Sharing In Cloud Manufacturing

Profound and significant changes have brought into the manufacturing industry with the rapid development of the intelligent sensing technology and information communication technology(ICT).With the emergence of cloud services,the relationship between firms has become more and more diversified.The resources in different firms have broken through the boundaries to achieve the connection between different firms.And the relationships of these firms have changed into being competitors and collaborators at the same time.In the cloud platform,the load of production equipment in every firm can be sensed by the intelligent terminal,which can make the resources be searched by every user and be obtained easier.Thus the usage efficiency of the resources can be improved.Based on the theory of market economy,this paper studies the factors which can influence whether to join in the cloud manufacturing platform or not of a firm.Combined with the evolutionary game theory,this paper analysis the factors which are mentioned above to explore the behavior of manufacturing enterprises when they are in different situations,and finding out under what conditions,the firms can be attracted to the cloud platform.Based on the above analysis,this paper discusses the enterprises that choose to share resources on the cloud platform more deeply to explore the impact of different sharing strategies on the resources providers.Through the resources sharing of the providers on the cloud platform,we built up the game model to figure out the optimal sharing amount and price of surplus resources among firms compared with the optimal profit without sharing.In addition,the cloud platform rules setting mechanism is added.Through the analysis,it showed that when the cloud platform formulates the transaction rules,the suppliers' sharing of the surplus resources can improve the optimal profit of both sides.And the more they share with,the more profit they will get.The conclusions were validated through the numerical analysis.The research can provide theoretical support for the new mode of firm's resource sharing strategy in cloud manufacturing.This dissertation has been innovated in the following two aspects.When we build the mathematical model,this paper establishes the relationship between the quantity of resources required and the quantity of surplus resources which can be provided,and reveals the economic characteristics of the surplus manufacturing resources on the cloud platform.At the same time,this paper proposes a new strategy of firms' resources sharing which can be called the secondary use of the platform,and brings the cloud platform as the third stakeholder into the game model,which stresses the important role of cloud platform in mechanisms establishing.And these mechanisms can provide protections to the completion of the model.
