This article presents a decision-support system developed for optimizing workforce allocation within production processes, specifically addressing the challenge of assigning employees to individual workstations during the assembly of ship hull sections. The proposed methodology integrates discrete-event computer simulation and evolutionary optimization techniques to accommodate the inherent complexity and stochastic nature of the analyzed manufacturing tasks. The objective is to assess the effectiveness of the proposed optimization system in determining optimal workforce allocation to workstations within stochastic production models
