Abstract

A system and method for efficiently determining the fair-share bands of a supply chain planning problem modeled as a multi-objective hierarchical linear programming problem include a processor and memory and are configured to model a supply chain planning problem as a multi-objective hierarchal linear programming problem, assign weights at each band of a fixed number of at least two bands, determine a direction of improved band values from a value of a Key Process Indicator (KPI) calculated from an expected demand and short quantities, wherein the expected demand and short quantities are calculated from the multi-objective hierarchical linear programming problem using a sample generated by Gibbs sampling of a conditional Gaussian Bayesian Network, and generate a supply chain plan.
