  Aiming at solving the problem that the moving route is complicated and the
scheduling is difficult in the routing buffer of the bus in the manufacturing
workshop, a routing buffer mathematical programming model for bus manufacturing
workshop is proposed. We design a moving approach for minimizing the total
setup cost for moving in routing buffer. The framework and the solution ofthe
optimization problem of such a bus manufacturing workshop scheduling with
routing buffer arepresented. The evaluation results show that, comparing with
the irregularly guided moving method, the proposed method can better guide the
bus movement in routing buffer by reducing the total setup time of all buses
processed at the next stage, and obtaining a better scheduling optimization
solution with minimize maximum total completion time.
