Short summary
Modern supply chains must coordinate customer orders, factory choices, and delivery routes while conditions change quickly. This study developed a learning-based scheduling method that breaks the whole task into connected decisions and trains them step by step. Tests in simulated networks showed faster learning, shorter completion times, and better performance in unfamiliar settings. The results suggest a practical way to improve coordination in production and delivery systems.
