Abstract
A method and device for planning a production includes determining material flows of products that are part of the production. This determination is done by allocating available quantities of a product for covering demanded quantities of the product in time. An allocating procedure classifies orders for the demanded quantities according a priority and orders for the available quantities according to a feasibility to provide the quantity. The classifications of the orders are used to cover the demanded quantities with a higher priority by available quantities with a higher feasibility.
