A genetic algorithm was developed to support the spatial layout design of military operations centers. Based on an abstract representation of the workplace, the algorithm uses a textual string as the genetic encoding method, two genetic operations (i.e., selection and swap) for simulating an evolution process, a fitness function that reflects a human factors characterization of workplace layout requirements, and an elitist strategy for improving its search efficiency. The effectiveness of the algorithm was demonstrated in the design of a mid-sized operations center that involved a team of 68 operators. This algorithm expands the human factors practitioners’ toolkit and enhances their ability to examine layout options of complex workplaces using modeling and simulation.
