Collaborative Production Planning with Order Splitting in Cloud Manufacturing Platform

Cloud manufacturing platform collects customers' orders and manages distributed manufacturing resources to accomplish orders, then transports products to customers. This paper discusses collaborative production planning problem between multi-enterprises in the cloud-manufacturing platform. We have presented a collaborative production-planning model for integrating order splitting and production planning decisions. This model could give two decisions: (1) which orders should be split, and the fraction of each order processed at each enterprise. (2) In which periods the order processed at the enterprise. A genetic algorithm optimization-based approach is developed to address the problem. Finally, an improved genetic algorithm-based approach is developed to address the problem.
