On-line job shop scheduling with transfer time in supply chain

This paper introduces on-line supply chain scheduling with transfer time under the circumstances of job shop scheduling, which is characterized by no-wait between operations, processing time between two positive limits, etc. Manufacturer may receive orders from customers at any moment. There is not any information about the coming orders before they enter the system. A real-time algorithm combined with particle swarm optimization is given to solve large-scale order in order to complete as soon as possible.
