In the present work, we performed a theoretical work to investigate how a make-to-order (MTO) company operates its producing plan for dealing with a rush-order-inserting problem. Firstly, we constructed two models, the time-minimized and cost-minimized model, to investigate the energy-cost generated by the prey during experiencing the pursuit-evasion game. Inspired by the natural pursuit-evasion game, two models have been extended and re-constructed to understand the cost of MTO company induced by the rush-order-inserting problem. In particular, the present results revealed that the optimal strategy adopted by the prey and the MTO manager are significantly coincident. This work provides helpful findings for operating the rush-order-inserting problem and indicates the natural behavior can be appropriately adopted to guide the manager’s decision making.

在当前的工作中，我们进行了理论上的研究，以调查按订单生产（MTO）公司如何处理其生产计划以应对紧急订单插入问题。首先，我们构建了时间最小化和成本最小化两个模型，以研究猎物在逃避游戏过程中所产生的能源成本。在自然追逃游戏的启发下，对两种模型进行了扩展和重构，以了解由插入紧急订单问题引起的MTO公司的成本。特别是，目前的结果表明，猎物和MTO经理采用的最佳策略是相当一致的。
