This model is considered under some restrictions in orders to have an optimal orders assignment to suitable overseas plants. 　　How to plan an optimal production scheduling after orders assignment is another point of this research. A heuristics algorithm, which is simulated annealing approach, is considered and used to minimize total manufacturing cost. 　　The orders assignment model is developed for a fasteners manufacturer, the database of this research is from the enterprise. The production scheduling of this enterprise is planned by empirical result. Empirical result is not a systematic approach; this model offers a better choice for orders assigning and scheduling. Although simulated annealing approach can not guarantee theoretical optimal solutions, most tested problems satisfied field planner under the consideration of algorithmic tractability.
