ABSTRACT: The development of prefabricated buildings is changing rapidly, and production scheduling has an important impact on its development, so the optimization of production scheduling for prefabricated building components has been of particular concern to the construction industry in recent years. This paper conducts bibliometric and visuals analysis of production scheduling literature in the Scopus database by using VOS viewer analysis software, and study in-depth a series of methods and optimization techniques developed and adopted in recent years for production scheduling of prefabricated buildings. This paper summarizes the general trends in production scheduling for prefabricated buildings in the last decade and provides insights into the technologies and methods that have enabled the optimization of production scheduling problems in recent years. The potential for effective integration and consolidation between these new technologies in the context of production scheduling is also explored in the future with the rise of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence techniques and machine learning. In conclusion, production scheduling optimization methods for prefabricated buildings should be continuously innovated and effectively integrated so as to effectively promote the development of prefabricated buildings and accelerate the transformation and upgrading of the construction industry.
