ABSTRACT:
A computer program for strategic planning and optimization allows a user to model an enterprise to visualize an effect of a strategic constraint on a primary goal of the enterprise. The primary goal is represented by a primary objective function which, in turn, depends upon a set of operational variables. The strategic constraint is represented by a constraint function that depends upon a subset of the operational variables. An effective objective function is constructed by combining the primary objective function and the constraint function, and the effective objective function is optimized over a range of target values for the constraint function. An outcome of the primary objective function is determined for each target value, and a graphical view of the outcome for each of the target values is presented. The graphical view provides a visualization of the effect of the strategic constraint on the primary goal for managing the enterprise.
