An kind of operation optimization model is put forward on the basis of analyzing manufacturing system characteristics with consideration of optimization. The Features of the model are real-time, dynamic, multi-objective and multistage. The algorithm called ‘Harmonizing Cluster Results’ for the model is presented in order to solve the difficulties of solution for the manufacturing system operation model. Then the model is simplified into some different submodels, such as production ability optimization submodel, time optimization submodel, balancing and harmonizing submodel etc. These submodels include different optimization directions which covers Time, Quality, Cost, Service and Environment of manufacturing system. Finally the operation optimization model and its solution algorithm are proved to be reasonable and available applied to an assembly line of energy meter in a factory. The simulation results showed the solution algorithm of the model is accurate. Keywords—manufacturing system; coordinated optimization model; multi-objective simulation optimization model
