A multi-objective simulation–optimization for a joint problem of strategic facility location, workforce planning, and capacity allocation: A case study in the Royal Australian Navy

作者:

Highlights:

• A novel multi-objective model for a military facility location is developed.

• A simulation model is coupled with NSGA-II as a solution approach.

• The developed model is applied to a realistic case study.

• The best fleet transition option is identified by the proposed approach.

• The scenario-based analysis gives insights into the robustness of solutions.
