Simulation Optimization is a multi-variable optimization that tries different combinations of input factors to arrive at the combination that provides the best objective function (output) value. Depending on the number of selected input factors and the complexity of the solution space, this process can take a long or short time. Optimizations with many factors and complex solutions take longer to run.
