“…Changing from a non-cooperative game to a cooperative game is always possible since Π C ≥ max Π R , Π TM , Π N . Actors in a cooperation game work like strategic partners, working toward a common goal [45,56]. Therefore agreement among the actors is an important aspect for its success [49].…”

This paper outlines the quality inspection strategies in a supplier-buyer supply chain under a customer return policy. This paper primarily focuses on product quality and quality inspection techniques to maximize the actors' and supply chain's profits using game theory approach. The supplier-buyer setup is described in terms of textile manufacturer-retailer supply chain where quality inspection is an important aspect and the product return from the customer is generally accepted. Textile manufacturer produces the product, whereas, retailer acts as a reseller who buys the products from the textile manufacturer and sells them to the customers. In this context, the former invests in the product quality whereas the latter invests in the random quality inspection and traceability. The relationships between the textile manufacturer and the retailer are recognized as horizontal and vertical alliances and modeled using non-cooperative and cooperative games. The non-cooperative games are based on the Stackelberg and Nash equilibrium models. Further, bargaining and game change scenarios have been discussed to maximize the profit under different games. To understand the appropriateness of a strategic alliance, a computational study demonstrates textile manufacturer-retailer relation under different game scenarios.

“…The NBS has been applied in many cases modelled by cooperative games such as the design and management of microwave access networks, Jiao et al [169], the design of semidecentralized controllers in a multi-agent team cooperation approach, SemsarKazerooni et al [170], bandwidth allocation in networks, Yaiche et al [171], Ma et al [172], collaborative product development, Arsenyan et al [173], and the design of water distribution networks, Beygi et al [174].…”

“…In the UAS VDD application, the number of design variables of the UAS definition and lifecycle models had to be limited to a reasonable number to allow 173 for the fast generation of UAS alternatives and calculation of lifecycle parameters with all other parameters set to reasonable values. To search more extensively the UAS design space, the workload would increase exponentially as the number of the variables would go up.…”

The work presented in this thesis concerns the development of a value driven engineering design assessment framework and its application to the conceptual design of an Unmanned Air System (UAS) to be utilised in a defence application. This research demonstrates the implementation of the value driven design philosophy in this framework, identifying value enhancing designs, with value not converted to monetary worth and as perceived by all stakeholders involved. A multi-criteria and multi-stakeholder decision making analysis is adopted to address their preferences as well as to study their interacting strategic choices. The ultimate objective of this framework is to convert engineering design to a decision making analysis with multiple conflicting objectives of multiple stakeholders considered.This framework is capable of providing a product definition and estimation of all performance and cost related attributes for the conceptual phase. However, instead of pertaining to a single aircraft concept, a broad range of combinations of UAS configurations and geometries is generated by systematically searching alternative concepts and design configurations through a novel parameterization of the aircraft geometric topologies.Value, related to the designed system's capabilities or performance and lifecycle cost, is used to compare different alternatives in the decision making of engineering design through the appropriate value model. Following a valuefocused approach, a novel multi-attribute value model is introduced for objectively capturing the stakeholder's preferences and expectations. Furthermore, a more sophisticated multi-attribute utility model, based on standard Multi-attribute Utility Theory, is employed in the evaluation.Game Theory as an optimization tool is used to develop a novel hybrid cooperative/non-cooperative non-zero sum, complete information game among all involved stakeholders as players. This game successfully addresses the stakeholders' preferences in a functional outcome-focused way, resolving the high indeterminacy of the alternative designs through a cooperative game. At the same time, their strategic interactions are captured in a process-focused non-cooperative game. Hence, the optimal design is identified through the simultaneous employment of the Nash bargaining solution and the Nash equilibrium.i

“…Harsanyi and Selten (1972) generalized the bargaining problem for two or more players of not equal relative authorities. NBS has been identified in several cases modelled by cooperative games such as the design and management of microwave access networks (Jiao et al 2011), design of controllers in a multi-agent team cooperation approach (Semsar-Kazerooni and Khorasani 2009), and collaborative product development (Arsenyan, Buyukozkan and Feyzioglu 2015).…”

The work presented concerns the development of a quantum-based decision making model utilised in the identification of optimal strategies in engineering design under uncertainty in a quantum-like entangled decision making, assessing intention interference. Several experiments and decision making paradoxes have manifested the deficiency of rationality assumption employed by classical decision making theory, with humans often violating the hypotheses of the expected utility theory and Game Theory by making irrational choices. Quantum Decision Theory (QDT) is the basis of the proposed decision making model, since only this theory can be employed to develop an operational tool in any social interplay, given the preferences of the individuals/players, to assess the quantum probabilities of their strategies. The decision makers' brain is assumed of a dual nature, with brain processes divided to conscious and subconscious constituent parts and the computed quantum strategic probabilities consisted of two parts, the first one being rationality related and the other one capturing biases, emotions and feelings. Hence, given a priori the preferences of the decision makers, this model can be utilised as an operational tool for decision making under uncertainty in the presence of entanglement assessing the quantum probabilities of the players' strategies in any engineering design. This quantum-based decision making model, identifying the optimal strategic choices of the stakeholders involved, is employed in the presented conceptual design of an Unmanned Air System (UAS), based on both the stakeholders' rationality, personal intuitive feelings and behavioural biases.
