Abstract

In this paper, the authors present the development of an optimisation suite and its implementation. This paper is part of an ongoing project that aims at developing a hybrid metaheuristic optimisation suite to solve multi-objective simulation optimisation problems. The suite is developed as a third-party library to solve discrete-event, stochastic simulation optimisation (SO) problems with multi-objectives, and is integrated with Tecnomatix Plant Simulation, a simulation software package developed by Siemens. Two real-life multi-objective SO problems are selected to test the suite’s performance, and the test results are discussed.
