A proposal is made for the solution of multiobjective, time-dependent planning problems which are essentially discrete valued. The solution procedure, based on a particular multiobjective optimality condition (developed elsewhere), is structured as a stepwise dynamic programming problem. The detailed theory of the proposed procedure is followed by a small-scale worked example which shows the application of the method.
