This study targets on a Cloud-based Manufacturing (CM) environment composed of a coordinator and multiple companies and proposes an efficient production planning and fair revenue allocation method named Scheduling Auction based Cooperative Game (SACG). In the CM environment, participating companies share their resources and trade the right of using them. Thus, some companies are buyers and others are sellers of the right. When the demand amount is more than the supply amount, the coordinator has to choose which buyers’ requests to accept under the constraint of the total available capacity of the supplied resources and allocate the buyers to the sellers. When there are multiple sellers, the coordinator has to distribute revenue to them. SACG proposed in this paper consists of two parts. The first one is an auction to establish a production plan maximizing the social surplus and determine the contract price of each buyer. The second one is a cooperative game to distribute the whole sales income to the sellers according fairly to their contribution. Numerical experiments illustrate some basic characteristics of the proposed SACG.
