Multi-Objective Production Planning with Cybersecurity Constraints in Industrial IoT
Abstract
The integration of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has increased the interdependence between production systems and cyberspace, making cybersecurity threats a critical factor in manufacturing performance.Traditional production planning methods rarely account for dynamic cyber risks, limiting their ability to ensure resilient and efficient operations.This study proposes a simulation-driven security-production collaborative optimization framework.Cyber threats are modelled through a dynamic coupling mechanism and embedded as operational constraints in a multi-objective production planning model.Based on digital twins and two-stage stochastic programming, the model simultaneously minimizes makespan, energy consumption, and cybersecurity risk.An improved multi-objective evolutionary algorithm with simulation-based evaluation is developed to assess schedule robustness under attack scenarios.The proposed framework enables systematic modelling and evaluation of resilient production planning in IIoT-enabled manufacturing environments.
