Review of supply-demand matching and scheduling in shared manufacturing

While giving rise to the transformation of the operation patterns of the manufacturing industry, shared manufacturing brings new opportunities as well as challenges to the theories and methods of production operations and management. The existing literature conducts comprehensive reviews on the cloud manufacturing techniques that shared manufacturing relies on and the research status of capacity allocation of participating enterprises. However, there is a lack of surveys on the progress of operation management of shared manufacturing platform. This study first analyzes real cases of shared manufacturing, and summarizes the typical characteristics and classification from the perspective of sharing economy and platform operation. Then, this paper summarizes the evaluation index system of supply-demand matching and gives a comprehensive review on the operational optimization, matching and scheduling models and solution algorithms of two types of supply-demand matching and scheduling research, namely "ordercapacity selection" and "order-capacity mutual selection". Finally, we compare the shared manufacturing with the cloud computing and classical production scheduling problems and discuss the future studies.
