Abstract
Economic operations are constantly subject to a large number of influences. Globalization, the progress of information technology as well as increasing resource prices are among the major influences of the past years. They raise both new challenges and opportunities for operations within a company. In addition, they open whole new contexts of economic activity. In particular these influences lead to operations under increasingly dynamic and uncertain conditions. The need for concepts and planning methods enabling the efficient conduction of such operations is a direct consequence. A company must respond to dynamic and uncertain circumstances by anticipation of future events in order to maintain efficiency.
