Abstract
A system and method of solving supply chain planning problems modeled as multi-objective hierarchical linear programming problems receive supply chain input data for a supply chain planning problem, solve a first multi-objective hierarchical linear programming problem, store a cumulative list of bound changes, receive changes to the supply chain input data, model a second supply chain planning problem as a second multi-objective hierarchal linear programming problem based, at least in part, on the one or more changes to the supply chain input data, derive an intermediate objective based, at least in part, on the cumulative list of bound change, and solve the second multi-objective hierarchical linear programming problem, using the basis of the solved intermediate objective.
