    A high degree of both complexity and uncertainty within supply chains make production planning and control difficult. Nowadays, several Production Planning and Control Systems try to optimise the supply chain's individual links, called manufacturing sites. Independent systems, i.e. systems which are not connected via networks, are not capable of planning and controlling the complete supply chain efficiently and effectively. The entities of a supply chain vary in market power, purchasing strategies, etc., and this leads to different relationships between them. In order to plan and control the entire supply chain a distributed, networked system is needed which is configurable for all structures within the chain. In this paper a generic and configurable planning and control component is presented with which a system for supply chains can be built modularly. Three case studies accompany the different planning approaches.
