Abstract
Increasing complexity in processes and individualization of products results in complicated planning processes. Multi-variant products and frequently changing production requirements must be met by flexibility in the processes. For loosely coupled production systems, it is difficult to keep track of the available resources. Therefore, planning processes must be supported with suitable systems. This contribution presents a support system, which transfers the knowledge into ontologies and uses these to support the planning. Resources and their capabilities can be combined freely to achieve maximum flexibility. The procedure is demonstrated within the supply chain in forestry – a distributed and loosely coupled domain.
