Two-Sided Matching Model of Shared Manufacturing Resources considering Psychological Behavior of Agents

Abstract

Sharing manufacturing is a new manufacturing mode based on sharing economy, which is one of the pillars of intelligent manufacturing. This paper proposes a two-sided matching model of shared manufacturing resources considering the psychological behavior of agents. We describe the definition of two-sided matching and introduce the concept of the cloud model. The preference information of agents is transformed to values according to the cloud model. We combine prospect theory and grey relational analysis to calculate the prospect values. Furthermore, an optimization model which aims to maximize the overall satisfaction degree of matching agents is established. A numerical example for the matching of providers and demanders is provided to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the model.
