To cope with the problems of poor matching between processing characteristics and manufacturing resources, low production efficiency, and the hard-to-meet dynamic and changeable model requirements in multi-variety and small batch aerospace enterprises, an integrated optimization method of complex component process planning and workshop scheduling for aerospace manufacturing enterprises is proposed. This paper considers the process flexibility of aerospace complex components comprehensively, and an integrated optimization model for the process planning and production scheduling of aerospace complex components is established with the optimization objectives of achieving a minimum makespan, machining time and machining cost. A honey-bee mating optimization algorithm (HBMO) combined with the greedy algorithm was proposed to solve the model. Then, it formulated a four-layer encoding method based on a feature-processing sequence, processing method, and machine tool, a tool was designed, and five worker bee cultivation strategies were designed to effectively solve the problems of infeasible solutions and local optimization when a queen bee mated to a drone. Finally, taking the complex component parts of an aerospace enterprise as an example, the integrated optimization of process planning and workshop scheduling is carried out. The results demonstrate that the proposed model and algorithm can effectively shorten the makespan and machining time, and reduce the machining cost.
