The present market scenario demands an integration of process planning and scheduling to stay competitive with others. In the present work, an integrated process planning and scheduling model encapsulating the salient features of outsourcing strategy has been proposed. The paper emphasizes on the role of outsourcing strategy in optimizing the performance of enterprises in rapidly changing environment. In the present work authors have proposed an artificial immune system based AIS-FLC algorithm embedded with the fuzzy logic controller to solve the complex problem prevailing under such scenario, while simultaneously optimizing the performance. The authors have shown the efficacy of the proposed algorithm by comparing the results with other random search methods.
