Abstract: As the production mode evolves, social manufacturing has emerged for enterprises to outsource non-core production tasks, make full use of the distributed socialized manufacturing resources and get value-added services. A social manufacturing system was proposed to configure customized community space (CCS) of an enterprise, organize CCS into manufacturing community and search for best partners for the enterprise. The framework of the proposed system is given. Correspondingly, three key enabling technologies are discussed to support the implementation of the system, that is, socialized manufacturing resources (SMRs) configuration, social manufacturing community (SMC) organization and collaboration and manufacturing outsourcing service (MOS) searching and matching. Finally, the conclusions are drawn and the future work of research in this area is given.

Abstract: We formulate respectively the outsourcing service competition models with simultaneous and sequential decision order and analyze the suppliers’ contest equilibrium in outsourcing service competition by applying dynamic game theory and contest theory. Then we explore the effect of sequential decision order on competition equilibrium. It is showed that the sequential decision order not only influences the equilibrium service level of the suppliers, but also has an effect on both total equilibrium service level of the supplier and the average equilibrium service level acquired by the purchaser.
