Research on Allocation of Resource in Manufacturing Grid Based on Bi-level Programming

Abstract

In order to make the manufacturing grid complete the manufacturing tasks and meet the market demand with low-cost and high-quality, the paper presents a resource allocation model based on bi-level programming. In this model intermediary service node and resource service node are taken as the two-layer of the decision interaction, the target of upper level is to minimize the cost of the total grid operation and the target of lower level is to maximize the benefits of every resource node. To achieve the minimal overall operating cost, the two layers pass parameters repeatedly to reach the optimal solution within the range of probabilities. Finally, the paper proves the validity of the model through a computational example. This model provides a new solution to optimize resource allocation of manufacturing grid.
