Abstract: A new particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is proposed for scheduling in manufacturing execution systems (MES).By taking scheduling function as a standalone module in an MES, the proposed algorithm uses clustering technique to improve the particles’ search space.Simulation results demonstrate that it is more efficient than the traditional scheduling algorithms.

Key words: particle swarm optimization, manufacturing execution system, scheduling, clustering
