Production scheduling plays an important role in improving efficiency and reducing cost. One of its core technologies is the establishment of an effective scheduling model and its corresponding optimization algorithms. However, most researches focus on scheduling optimization in static environment, less concern of the uncertainty and complexity in the real job-shop. It must be different from the exact solution if some situations are ignored or not considered in scheduling problem such as changing processing time, uncertain capability of storage, possibility of human decision, unpredicted accident and so on. Inchoate research on FJSP (Flexible Job-Shop Scheduling Problem) concentrated on the simple application of integer programming and simulation, which can hardly be used to solve the complex scheduling problem. With the development of related fields and theory of optimization, a great many methods and techniques have been adopted into JSP. Operational research predigests the JSP into a mathematical programming model, using branch-and-bound method and dynamic programming algorithm to realize optimization or approximate optimization. However, OR only suits to simple scheduling problem (Philips et al., 1987). Based on theory of control, Gershwin and his fellows expatiate comprehensively the adoption of theory of control in manufacturing system. Limited to the capability of modeling, a lot of predigestion to the environment is a must; the practice to get the optimum solution expands with a exponential characteristic (Juanqi, 1998). AI (Artificial Intelligence) is a combination of all the methods for JSP, which aim at enhancing the intelligence of scheduling method. It can smooth the disadvantages of mathematical programming and simulation. Based on the system status and deterministic objective of optimization, effective heuristic research and concurrent fuzzy reasoning are conducted to choose the optimum solution and support online decision. Nevertheless, AI is weak in adapting to new environment, and there are 3 main limitations of this method: low speed of operation, insensitive to asynchronisic event in the environment, the system can’t be universally adopted (Juanqi, 1998). In a job-shop DEDS (Discrete Event Dynamic System), the JSP can be
