A Cooperative Game Theory Analysis for Modular Manufacturing Network

The purpose of this paper is to analyze modular manufacturing networks from a cooperative game strategy perspective. First, this paper presents an analysis and discussion, based on the cooperative game methodology, for the practical cooperation experience and mutual trusting relationship among cooperative partners in modular manufacturing network. In the meantime, a cooperative game analysis model for the mutual relationship of cooperative partners is built in this paper. Furthermore, this paper attempts to make an explanation to cooperation and symbiosis phenomenon from a new angle within the framework of modular manufacturing network system, and explores the ways of cooperation among cooperative partners within the modular manufacturing network. Finally, four strategies are put forward, which also provide some guidance for the process and the tendency of more extensive modular manufacturing network development.
