Abstract
Autonomous, elementary units of production, co-operating in temporary networks, are considered as a key organisational form of enterprises in the 21st century. A scientific’ approach is provided by networks based on customer- oriented, directly linked, smallest autonomous business units called Competence Cells’. This approach leads to new requirements for the planning of production systems of such networks. To meet them a framework called ‘PlaNet - Planning Concept for Networks’ has been developed and is outlined. PlaNet provides the means for Competence Cells to solve their planning problems. The implementation of PlaNet is the Net Planning Assistant as a modular toolset.
