contents In dynamic manufacturing environments, disruptions such as machine breakdowns and new order arrivals continuously shift the optimal dispatching strategy, making adaptive rule selection essential. Existing LLM-powered Automatic Heuristic Design (AHD) frameworks evolve toward a single elite rule that cannot meet this adaptability demand. To address this, we present DSevolve, an industrial scheduling framework that evolves a quality-diverse portfolio of dispatching rules offline and adaptively deploys them online with second-level response time. Multi-persona seeding and topology-aware evolutionary operators produce a behaviorally diverse rule archive indexed by a MAP-Elites feature space. Upon each disruption event, a probe-based fingerprinting mechanism characterizes the current shop floor state, retrieves high-quality candidate rules from an offline knowledge base, and selects the best one via rapid look-ahead simulation. Evaluated on 500 dynamic flexible job shop instances derived from real industrial data, DSevolve outperforms state-of-the-art AHD frameworks, classical dispatching rules, genetic programming, and deep reinforcement learning, offering a practical and deployable solution for intelligent shop floor scheduling.
