A study on auction type production scheduling method for realization of mass customization

Abstract

The main goal of this study is to make a production schedule considering users' demand and improvement in production efficiency for mass customization. A proposed method using a Combinatorial Auction is applied to develop an optimal schedule in planning phase. In operational phase, a proposed method using a Single Auction approach is applied to insert additional orders quickly at idle time. To evaluate effectiveness of the proposed approaches, computer experiments are conducted.
