我们建立了一个模块化装配系统模型，在该系统中，最终装配工将部分装配任务外包给第一级供应商（子装配工），这些供应商生产由多个组件组成的模块。组装商设定支付给组装商的模块价格，组装商设定支付给供应商的组件价格，然后所有参与者选择安装多少容量，最小容量选择决定系统容量。最后，随机最终产品的需求，观察和所有的球员生产（并支付）相同数量的单位需求和系统容量的最小值。我们的特点是均衡的价格和能力的选择，然后使用该特性来获得结果，更高层次的结构选择的装配，如如何分组组件成模块和供应商选择作为子装配。我们还比较了系统的性能与传统的装配系统的装配工和供应商，但没有子装配。
We model a modular assembly system in which a final assembler outsources some of the assembly task to first-tier suppliers (subassemblers), who produce modules made up of multiple components. The assembler sets module prices it will pay to the subassemblers, the subassemblers set component prices they will pay to suppliers, and then all players choose how much capacity to install, with the minimum capacity choice determining system capacity. Finally, stochastic end-product demand is observed and all players produce (and are paid for) the same number of units-the minimum of demand and system capacity. We characterize equilibrium price and capacity choices, and then use that characterization to derive results regarding higher-level structural choices by the assembler-such as how to group components into modules and which suppliers to choose as subassemblers. We also compare performance of the system to a traditional assembly system with an assembler and suppliers but without subassemblers.
