| Abstract: | This study addresses collaborative production scheduling in a resource-constrained three-tier equipment manufacturing supply chain. A bilevel optimization model captures interactions between centralized penalty/incentive policies and decentralized operational decisions regarding equipment utilization, pricing, and quantity. A particle swarm optimization (PSO)-based procedure solves the nonlinear bilevel problem. Numerical simulations examine convergence, optimal scheduling, and parameter sensitivity. Results show scheduling performance jointly depends on equipment utilization elasticity, switching cost, working-hour adjustment price, and demand. Low switching costs and moderate elasticity raise efficiency and profit; adverse parameter combinations lead to lowperformance regimes. Properly designed penalties and incentives improve coordination, though their effectiveness hinges on operational flexibility and demand. The study offers a simulation-optimization framework for collaborative scheduling analysis in constrained equipment supply chains and supports decision-making for scheduling centres and enterprise planning.
