Abstract: The paper considers the problem of open supply networks (OSNs) configuring in a highly dynamic economic environment. A novel coalition formation mechanism is proposed, which helps to resolve conflictions between the objectives of the OSN participants and to agree upon effective solutions. This mechanism is based on a generalized model of a fuzzy cooperative game with core. The model was applied for configuring of an automotive OSN. Simulation results are considered.

Keywords: cooperative game, core, supply network, configuring.
