Claim:
1. A system for assigning products to transportation compartments, comprising: one or more transportation compartments configured to hold one or more products; a computer comprising a processor configured to receive a schedule request and one or more constraints for compartment packing of the one or more products in the one or more transportation compartments and generate a packing plan comprising one or more transportation compartment assignments based on the one or more constraints using a combinatorial search that generates a solution represented by a vector V=(v_1, . . . , v_n), an ith component of the vector being a product and an amount assigned to an ith transportation compartment, the combinatorial search: at least one of the one or more products is assigned to be packed into at least one of the one or more transportation compartments based on the generated packing plan.
