Abstract
A tree search-based scheduling method and an electronic apparatus are provided. In the method, multiple order lists are received and a schedule is initialized, wherein each order list includes multiple production operations. In each order list, a first production operation which has not been joined into the schedule yet is selected, such that multiple prior operations are selected. An execution priority of the prior operations is calculated according to multiple dispatching rules, and multiple candidate operations are selected from the prior operations according to the execution priority. Afterwards, the candidate operations are listed as a next operation of the schedule respectively, and a scheduling simulation is performed according to the dispatching rules to obtain multiple scheduling indicators of the candidate operations. Scheduling is performed according to the scheduling indicators.
