Abstract: In this paper a concept of Virtual Operation Queue of part is proposed, a dynamic production scheduling algorithm is presented based on static batching of FMSs. The restricts of manufacturing resources, influence of part handling system and some emergency events (e.g. machine breakdown, rush order joining etc.), alternative operations, etc. are considered in the algorithm. The algorithm is easy to be realized, and can be applied to dynamic scheduling for most types of FMSs, which have one or more AGVs and have linear or loop layout.
