Abstract: Abstract In a highly dynamic market environment, the required planning quality for the entire supply chain can increase to such an extent that it can be reached with fixed planning cycles only at the very high cost of frequent planning. If demand or the raw materials market develops differently from what is anticipated, a readjustment of the entire supply chain becomes necessary to re-attain maximum planning quality and hence profitability. In a highly dynamic environment, an event-controlled synchronization of the production and sales planning in place of the timetable-controlled synchronization can ensure the necessary increase of planning quality and limit planning expenses to the necessary minimum. This study describes the planning scenario of a chemical industry company which has fully integrated the demand planning, master planning as well as production planning and detailed scheduling; its results are used as quotas in the availability check of customer requirements (see chapter 9). This integrated planning system is carried out, in whole or in part, event-controlled as a function of market trends.
