Abstract
A system and method are disclosed including a computer that receives a formulation of a multi-objective linear programming planning problem, the formulation including at least one variable fixed at an upper bound or a lower bound. The computer also solves the formulation for a higher-order objective and fixes the upper bound or the lower bound of at least one variable to preserve a solution of the formulation for the higher-order objective. The computer also replaces at least one variable in the formulation with a value of the upper bound or the lower bound, when the upper bound of at least one variable is fixed at the lower bound or the lower bound of at least one variable is fixed at the upper bound, and checks whether replacing at least one variable with the value of the upper bound or the lower bound divides the formulation into two independent components.
