Abstract

To reduce electricity consumption in hierarchical management of fabrication, it is necessary to take into account the activity of managers associated with the presence of their own targets. A three-level model of managing electricity consumption in production is considered. At its top level is the superior who evaluates the executive who is at the middle level. At the bottom of the system is the director of fabrication. The superior must to manage the consumption of the executive in such a way as to save electricity. But the executive knows own electricity-saving opportunities better than the superior. In turn, the director knows his own electricity-saving capabilities better than the executive. So, both the executive and the director can manipulate their electricity consumption to gain more incentives. To avoid this, a control system for electricity consumption management in fabrication is proposed. This system includes procedure for machine learning of the superior and procedure for grading of the executive. Sufficient conditions of the optimality of this system are found, in which random opportunities of decreasing electricity consumption are used. With such a system, the executive is interested in minimizing electricity consumption. The Theorem is proved that for this it is sufficient to use linear procedures of adaptive standardization and stimulation of the director. The proposed approach to control of electricity consumption is illustrated by the example of railcars repairing in the Russian Railways company.
