The invention discloses a method for scheduling a machine part processing line by adopting the discrete quantum particle swarm optimization, comprising the following steps: reading in the machine part processing process operation time, initializing a particle swarm, calculating the adaptation value of each particle, updating the individual optimal position and the global optimal position of each particle, carrying out global search on the basis of the discrete quantum particle optimization, carrying out local search and drawing a machine part processing sequence Gantt chart according to a global optimal scheduling scheme. The method disclosed by the invention improves the limitation of the traditional quantum particle swarm optimization in the production scheduling field, overcomes the defects that the quantum particle swarm is easy to be subjected to local optimization and has the advantages of high optimizing precision and high optimizing speed. The method is used for scheduling themachine part processing line, can solve to obtain an optimal scheduling scheme in a shorter time and is easy and convenient to operate. The principle has wide range of application and can be popularized to the producing and processing field of the manufacturing industry, the process industry and the like.
