Abstract
A method and system for rule-based control of order changes in transportation planning. An effect of an order change received is evaluated to identify if the effect on the transportation plan retained in persistent memory exceeds a threshold. The transportation plan is maintained unaffected if the effect does not exceed the threshold.
