In order to obtain a decision model with universality, the manufacturing unit was regarded as the most basic carrier for the functional objectives of the manufacturing system. This paper has established the functional objective decision model of discrete manufacturing system by characterizing the manufacturing objectives of cost, efficiency, quality, time, agility and greenness, and has introduced the concept of coordination degree between manufacturing units. In weight calculation, the model could balance the importance of the functional objectives required by the customer and the producer. Moreover, according to the NP-hard characteristics of the model, ant colony algorithm and particle swarm optimization (ACO-PSO) algorithm was designed to solve the problem. The feasibility and validity of the algorithm were verified by simulation examples, which could promise the experimental results more satisfactory than the traditional genetic algorithm. In addition, the model can provide more choices for decision-making of functional objectives in discrete manufacturing systems by adjusting the fitness value.
