Abstract: A machining system is one of important elements for implementing green manufacturing in workshop. It has been discovered that job scheduling, which can decrease resource consumption and reduce environmental impacts, is an approach to improving green attributes of machining systems. A job scheduling model of a machining system for green man- ufacturing is proposed with description of the schematic model and the mathematic model, which describes the whole sch- eduling process and the relations of the elements of the job scheduling model. The objective architecture of the model is constructed in terms of the green attributes of machining systems which is composed of several sub-objectives, and the analysis of each sub-objective is presented. Finally, a case study is analyzed to show the application of the model.
