A conveying system and method including a conveying network and controller for transporting according to transport orders during a time-frame having a fixed duration. Each good has allocated one of different conveying criteria and one of the transport orders. The conveying network includes an entry station, an exit station, and transport paths therebetween. Each transport path is operable during each operation-mode phase in one of different operation modes, which are distinguished by constant transport-path velocities. Each operation mode has allocated, based on one of the conveying criteria, one of the transport-path velocities. The time-frame is defined by several subsequent operation-mode phases. The controller selects the operation modes for the transport paths based on the conveying criteria such that throughput of the convoying goods through the conveying network during the time-frame is optimized.
