ABSTRACT
Supply chain planning is a process of “qualitative, quantitative and temporal determination of future goals, means and processes for the design and control of the operational supply chain management system, including systematic, information-processing and social interaction processes”. The change of supply chains that is expressed by the target system can essentially be determined on the basis of its dimensioning and target level. The challenge of stability goals and their efficiency focus is that due to the missing multi-dimensioned approach these goals often lack differentiation and connectivity to demand patterns. One problem that arises in the structuring of the supply chain target system is the complexity of possible goals and target relationships, which results all from the great opportunities for behaviour and design of supply chain processes. The implementation of the supply chain goals, which are initially defined in the target system, is achieved through strategic planning. However, the target planning also depends on the possible strategies or their feasibility.
