Abstract
Social manufacturing (SM) is a task-oriented production paradigm that enables coordinated scheduling across distributed manufacturing resources. However, its operational efficiency is often limited by reliance on centralized management systems. In this context, blockchain technology shows strong potential for decentralized management in SM. However; the corresponding models for early warnings of production progress, especially for task fulfillment and delay risks, remain largely unexplored. To address the limitations, this article first proposes a blockchain-based decentralized production progress early warning system in SM. Furthermore, a corresponding early warning workflow is developed to define the overall interaction logic among participants. Then, a hybrid state machine is implemented within the smart contract to construct a task fulfillment status early warning model. Afterward, a Bayesian network-based model is designed to assess the evolving delay risks of interdependent tasks. Finally, a case study on air-conditioner production is conducted to validate the proposed models. Results show that the prototype system maintains scalable performance, achieving up to 17.56 transactions/s under write-intensive workloads and 52.45 transactions/s under read-intensive workloads, demonstrating more stable scalability than traditional centralized and directed acyclic graph (DAG)-based systems.
期刊介绍:
IEEE Transactions on Computational Social Systems focuses on such topics as modeling, simulation, analysis and understanding of social systems from the quantitative and/or computational perspective. "Systems" include man-man, man-machine and machine-machine organizations and adversarial situations as well as social media structures and their dynamics. More specifically, the proposed transactions publishes articles on modeling the dynamics of social systems, methodologies for incorporating and representing socio-cultural and behavioral aspects in computational modeling, analysis of social system behavior and structure, and paradigms for social systems modeling and simulation. The journal also features articles on social network dynamics, social intelligence and cognition, social systems design and architectures, socio-cultural modeling and representation, and computational behavior modeling, and their applications.
