Abstract

Following the rapid development of Grid computing, Grid technology has been introduced into the manufacturing realm and is contemporarily being considered for the sharing of manufacturing resources. However current research in the subject-area is still immature and mainly focuses on conceptual framework development. Here a concrete performance-based Bayesian method for resource collaboration optimization in Extended Enterprise is proposed which improves and promotes research in applying Grid-thinking in inter-organizational manufacturing value chains. Based on the research background, problem statement, and the consideration of Bayesian learning, the method for probability dependency relationship modeling between the performance values of different manufacturing resource nodes in the Extended Enterprise is analysed; and is subsequently complimented by the development of an extended method for more general use. Finally, a system dynamics simulation model for the proposed method is established and the validity and effectivity of the suggested method is tested via a simple case study.
