Towards a Distributed Decision Systems Based on One-by-one Progressive Coordination for Product Line Optimization

Abstract Over the past several decades business has come increasingly to the realization the product innovation may hold the key to its future surviral and growth. A host of technology, environmental factors, et al have combined to make product line optimization a vital element in the formulation or transfer of corporate strategy. From the point view of system, product line can be considered as an interconneced system composed by a set of subsystems. However, concerning a system envolving management, there remains an exceedingly difficult and challenging undertaking by using the traditional Large Scale System theory to solve it. In this paper, the one-by-one progressive coordination method which originated from the thought of Artificial Intelligence is provided, the described method is tested in simulation model.
