Facilities Collaboration in Cloud Manufacturing based on Generalized Collaboration Network

• In cloud manufacturing for regional industrial cluster, there is increasing necessity of collaboration among enterprises or facilities. It is valuable to explore the characteristics of these collaboration behaviors for effectively scheduling dispersed manufacturing facilities and organizing their collaboration. The collaborative relation of manufacturing in regional industrial cluster can be described as a generalized social collaboration network. In this paper, we introduce the relevant entities and relations of facilities collaboration, and propose the method for building Facility Collaboration Network (FCN). We further design the dynamically growing process of FCN for different facility selection strategies, including random selection, balanced selection, random selection with preference and balanced selection with preference. Based on the metrics such as network scale, node degree distribution, act degree distribution, average shortest distance and number of cliques, we present the statistical characteristics of FCN, and analyze relevant characteristics and laws for efficient facilities selection in cloud manufacturing.
