Randomforest enabled collaborative covid-19 product manufacturing/fabrications

Manufacturing COVID-19-related products such as face masks, shields, ventilators, shoe covers, gowns, and so forth, rapidly increased in recent months as the virus pandemic surges across the globe. Governments and Industrialists are keen to formulate quick decisions and are open to decentralize productions within a prescribed time limit using smart techniques. Recommendations on the volume of productions and the producer assignments are remaining a sole concern for policymakers or smart city authorities due to the unforeseen or unpredictable nature of the raging pandemic. This article introduces a RandomForest-assisted Collaborative COVID-19 Product Manufacturing (RFCCPM) framework. It collaboratively decides on producing COVID-19 preventive kits in a cost-efficient manner. The approach was experimented at the IoT cloud research laboratory; it achieved a manufacturing cost efficiency of 66 percent when Threshold Accepting (TA) algorithm was incorporated in the framework.
