Abstract
This chapter discusses the utilisation of software add-ons like SCHEDULE++ for the supply chain manager, production planner and material requirements planning controller. Using this tool, the flow of material can be tracked over several production and storage facilities of chemical plants. Moreover, supply chain tree and dynamic pegging data for material production and material consumption can be gathered. It will be shown, how consequences of changes in raw material delivery, changes to customer orders, or machine breakdowns can be visualised along the supply chain. A recursive algorithm was developed for dynamic pegging over the whole supply chain. We also discuss how such software applications can be used together with the SAP R/3 system.
