Abstract
A system and method are disclosed for dynamic switching in hierarchical LPOPT solving for supply chain entities. The system provides an architecture of a supply chain planner including a server including a user action processor, a visualization engine, a dynamic solver engine and a similarity comparison engine. The system architecture and method enables the solving of hierarchical supply chain problems with reduced computational requirements and in a shorter period of time. The method comprises solving, using the dynamic solver engine, a first hierarchical problem and a second hierarchical problem with advance basis information from the first hierarchical problem, comparing, using the similarity comparison engine, the first hierarchical problem to the second hierarchical problem; and when the first hierarchical problem is dissimilar to the second hierarchical problem, re-solving, using the dynamic solver engine, the second hierarchical problem without advance basis information from the first hierarchical problem.
