With the pace of global economic integration accelerating gradually, the world is becoming more and more competitive. The situation of multi-species, multi-processes and low-volume has become a leading production characteristics in modern manufacturing. Therefore it is necessary for manufacturing enterprises to arrange reasonable manufacturing processes, use resources efficiently, reduce producing period and make lower costs. However it is required effective management for workshop to accomplish it. The core of workshop management is the Workshop Scheduling. Effective methods of workshop production scheduling and optimization technology of research and application is the base and the key to achieve advanced manufacturing and improve production efficiency.
Firstly this paper make an analysis of the Status of workshop production scheduling in manufacturing and make the problem in workshop scheduling management in manufacturing clearly. Secondly, it do some research on workshop scheduling and introduce the basic theory of workshop scheduling, it also analyses the importance of the workshop scheduling in workshop management. Thirdly, it do specific research on the theory and methods about workshop scheduling and make a comparative analysis about various optimization methods, and acquire their own advantages and disadvantages. Finally, compared the actual production of processing workshop in Hangzhou Dalu Industry Co., Ltd, We can find the scheduling problem, then use optimization algorithm to improve their scheduling, which improve the efficiency of their production.
