Abstract

This paper seeks to address an approach called the social network analysis method (SNAM) to evaluate the effect of resource scalability on networked manufacturing system. Considering the case of networked manufacturing mode, we have proposed a framework of SNAM for generating the collaborative networks. The collaborative networks have been obtained by transferring the input data in the form of an affiliation matrix to the UCINET and Netdraw software packages. Subsequently, we have conducted various tests to analyze the collaborative networks for finding the network structure, size, complexity and its functional properties. In this paper, a social network based greedy k-plex algorithm has been applied to evaluate the scalability effect on different data sets of networked manufacturing system. Experimental studies have been conducted and comparisons have been made to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed approach.
