A planning approach for chemical multipurpose plants is proposed. It is based on an evolutionary improvement of the current situation in the future. The basic idea is to keep the functions of the planning roles alive, but to give all roles access to the information and to allow each planning role the simulation of planning situations in an integrated system. The article also presents data visualization and data processing techniques as well as procedures for requirements and production planning that support such a planning approach.
