Zusammenfassung:Methods and system are disclosed for planning and optimizing plans of a value chain in response to events and exceptions in the value chain with minimal perturbations to the existing plan. When an event or an exception occurs, potential solutions are constructed and evaluated. The potential solutions respect the business process constraints and temporal constraints on transactions, and the true dynamic capacity constraints in the value chain. The impact of the potential solutions on finance and on the existing plan is evaluated. The solution with maximum profit and minimum perturbation to the existing plan is selected and executed. Techniques of achieving the above goals are described.
