Abstract
A computer-based method for characterizing relationships between a primary goal and an auxiliary goal in an enterprise planning model includes representing the primary goal by a primary objective function, the primary objective function being dependent upon a set of operational variables. The objective function is resolved to yield a plurality of sets of operational decisions. A plurality of auxiliary goal values associated with a plurality of primary goal values in response to said plurality of sets of operational decisions is presented in a data structure. The computer-based method allows the analysis of the costs and benefits of the auxiliary goal imposed upon the primary goal.
