This paper addresses workflow issues of a Geomatics division in the Canadian Forces. This division is dedicated to the production of Geomatics Information under the US National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency’s Foundation Based Operations concept. This paper outlines a methodology for modeling and analyzing the workflow of the Canadian Forces Geomatics division. A discrete event simulation model is developed and applied to measure the performance of the workflow system for developing Geomatics products. A hybrid queueing network/optimization model is also developed to support the simulation model. The objective of the queueing network/optimization formulation is to provide the optimal configuration of the Geomatics division. The paper successfully addresses a complex workflow problem in the context of real world system and provides insights into the performance of the Canadian Forces Geomatics processing.
