项目摘要

This award will contribute to the national prosperity by providing rigorous methods to improve the management of product transitions, the introduction of new products to replace older models, in high-technology manufacturing industries. Because of the rapid pace of technological development and strong competition among firms, product life cycles in high-tech industries have shortened significantly in recent years. New product development and testing, critical to the firm's success, must be executed while continuing to produce a range of products unaffected by the transition. Effective management of both new and existing products requires close coordination between manufacturing, engineering, and product development organizations, which are autonomous organizational units. In contrast to current product transitions, which are often managed without considering the operational issues requiring coordination of multiple organizations, this project provides a novel approach to collaborative risk management by negotiating resource allocation between units, which will both reduce the cost and shorten the length of product transitions. An integral part of the award is the development of a simulation-based computer game that will give hands-on experience of solving this problem and its crucial importance in today's high tech economy. The research is contextualized within the semiconductor industry, which is of central importance to the nation's long-term economic success.This award will develop decentralized decision making tools to understand incentive structures and coordination mechanisms to enable efficient collaborative solutions for the management of product transitions. The research draws on the tools of algorithmic game theory and combinatorial auctions to develop and analyze decentralized decision making methods to support the firm's long-term viability. This requires computing Nash equilibria for a multiperiod problem involving both discrete and continuous decisions. This approach will be complemented by a bilevel programming approach in which corporate management plays the role of the leader allocating resources to the other units. The project will extend the bilevel programming framework to consider interactions among the followers, providing novel formulations and solution approaches. Once satisfactory solutions have been obtained for a deterministic environment, these will be used to explore alternative strategies for hedging against uncertainties.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项将通过提供严格的方法来改善高科技制造业的产品过渡管理，推出新产品以取代旧型号，从而为国家繁荣做出贡献。由于技术发展的快速步伐和企业之间的激烈竞争，近年来高科技产业的产品生命周期已大大缩短。新产品开发和测试对于公司的成功至关重要，必须在继续生产一系列不受过渡影响的产品的同时执行。新产品和现有产品的有效管理需要制造、工程和产品开发组织之间的密切协调，这些组织是自治的组织单位。目前的产品过渡管理通常不考虑需要多个组织协调的运营问题，与此相反，该项目通过在单位之间协商资源分配，提供了一种新的协作风险管理方法，这既降低了成本，又缩短了产品过渡的时间。该奖项的一个组成部分是开发一个基于模拟的计算机游戏，这将给解决这个问题的实践经验，以及它在当今高科技经济中的至关重要性。该研究是在半导体行业的背景下进行的，这对国家的长期经济成功至关重要。该奖项将开发分散的决策工具，以了解激励结构和协调机制，从而为产品过渡管理提供有效的协作解决方案。该研究利用算法博弈论和组合拍卖的工具来开发和分析分散决策方法，以支持公司的长期生存能力。这需要计算纳什均衡的多周期问题，涉及离散和连续的决策。这一办法将辅之以一种两级方案拟订办法，在这种办法中，共同管理层发挥领导作用，向其他单位分配资源。该项目将扩展双层编程框架，以考虑追随者之间的相互作用，提供新的配方和解决方案的方法。一旦获得了确定性环境的满意解决方案，这些方案将用于探索对冲不确定性的替代策略。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
