The earth warming problem will be one of the most difficult problems for industrial enterprises in the world. Heavily energy consuming industries, i.e., steel, power, refinery and chemical, have to establish a powerful management system to deal with the Earth warming problem. The core of this management system is the planning function. The planner should take more complicated criteria into consideration than before. Some of the criteria conflict with each other. At the same time, surroundings of the planning work will be continuously unstable because of political and economical changes in the world. We have to make an effort to implement a planning tool to help planners facing uncertain problems under multi criteria. The idea of modeling is the first step to accomplish a practical planning tool for ordinary planning persons for daily decision making work processes. Mathematical programming approaches are very promising to develop this kind of planning tool.
