COLLABORATIVE PRODUCTION SCHEDULING WITH MULTI-ENTERPRISE IDLE CAPACITY SHARING.

This paper proposes a digital twin enhanced approach for optimizing collaborative production scheduling in multi-enterprise manufacturing systems. A multi-objective model is developed incorporating practical constraints such as limited time windows, different production capacities, and transportation considerations. To solve the model, an Improved Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm (INSGA-II) is designed with specialized operators and strategies. The digital twin simulation is enriched with Multi-objective Decision Making based on Interaction Structures (MDIS) to obtain higher-quality solutions. Experiments demonstrate that the MDIS digital twin approach reduces manufacturing lead times and costs while improving utilization and quality compared to standard methods. This research provides an effective optimization framework to leverage cloud manufacturing resources across organizations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
