Chapter Chapter 8 in Supply Chain Scheduling, 2022, pp 431-548 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter discusses the application of cooperative solution methods, especially cooperative game theory, to decentralized supply chain scheduling problems. We consider many scheduling situations that model diverse applications, and that have classically been analyzed from the perspective of a centralized decision maker. By viewing the jobs or resources within those situations as individual self-interested players, cooperative supply chain scheduling games are defined over those situations. The analysis of these games applies all the main concepts of cooperative games, from the perspective of achieving and sustaining cooperation among the players. Mechanisms for achieving cooperation, and many examples of supply chain scheduling applications, are discussed.
