This paper explores the integrated optimization of complex coupled industrial manufacturing systems and production strategies based on user customization needs. Two optimization metrics are considered: one is whether the production process of engineering manufacturing is simplified, and the other is whether it is based on the customization requirements of the customer. These two metrics are interrelated, and cases may even be conflicting. Considering the interdependence between engineering manufacturing and user requirements, this paper develops an integrated customized modular engineering manufacturing process to minimize production and maintenance costs and improve efficiency while meeting user customization requirements. This paper takes expert evaluation as an important decision indicator and optimizes the production process strategy on this basis. Finally, a case study is given to illustrate the applicability of the proposed process model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper proposes a scalable learning framework to solve a system of coupled forward–backward partial differential equations (PDEs) arising from mean field games (MFGs). The MFG system incorporates a forward PDE to model the propagation of population dynamics and a backward PDE for a representative agent's optimal control. Existing work mainly focus on solving the mean field game equilibrium (MFE) of the MFG system when given fixed boundary conditions, including the initial population state and terminal cost. To obtain MFE efficiently, particularly when the initial population density and terminal cost vary, we utilize a physics-informed neural operator (PINO) to tackle the forward–backward PDEs. A learning algorithm is devised and its performance is evaluated on one application domain, which is the autonomous driving velocity control. Numerical experiments show that our method can obtain the MFE accurately when given different initial distributions of vehicles. The PINO exhibits both memory efficiency and generalization capabilities compared to physics-informed neural networks (PINNs). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
