In order to improve the sustainability of the cloud manufacturing scheduling processes，a multi-task scheduling method was studied based on the sustainability of cloud manufacturing，and a cloud-manufacturing multi-task scheduling process and a sustainability framework were analyzed based on the service-oriented architecture theory.Considering economic，environmental and social factors，a multi-task scheduling model was constructed based on sustainability and an improved genetic algorithm was designed to effectively solve the problems of scheduling model solution.Through the comparison simulation experiments based on the sustainability scheduling model and the satisfaction-based scheduling model，the effects of sustainability on the multi-task scheduling effectiveness of cloud manufacturing was observed.The results show that from the perspective of overall system optimization，the sustainability-based scheduling model may reduce environmental costs and equipment idleness without sacrificing customer satisfaction，and ensure the sustainable operations of the platform as a whole.
