description Abstract The welding workshop of metal structural parts is highly energy-consuming. To meet the national low-carbon green demand, this paper focus on the welding workshop scheduling problem in production process with considering the carbon footprints such as equipment energy consumption, welding material consumption and shielding gas consumption. Firstly, a bi-objective low-carbon welding scheduling mathematical model is established with minimizing makespan and carbon emission. Then, an improved Grey Wolf Optimizer (IGWO) with three strategies is designed to solve this multi-objective problem. The grey wolf multi-wandering strategy (first) is proposed to enhance the population diversity. The grey wolf coordinated hunting strategy (second) based on dynamic weights is introduced to improve the convergence of IGWO. A local optimization strategy(third) is designed to improve the post-optimal search performance by adjusting the machine assignment based on the critical path. A welding workshop green scheduling case is designed to verify the model and algorithm proposed in this paper. The minimum completion time and carbon emissions obtained by the IGWO algorithm are 842.14 and 3.85E + 05, respectively. This result is better than that obtained by NSGA-II and GWO.The results show that the model effectively reduce the carbon emissions of the workshop, and the algorithm can effectively solve the model.
