  ABSTRACT: Growing competition creates pressure among companies to run their produc-tion in a cost optimal way and yet adapt immediately to changes in their environmental conditions. Decisions must always consider the integration of the companies in globalised markets on both the demand and supply side. This paper deals with the optimal planning of decisions concerning the struc-ture and dimension of production facilities. The methods used for material requirements planning (MRP) are selected and configured according to these decisions. These decision problems are represented in the form of four hier-archically layered partial models, each of them realised and iteratively solved by a mathematical optimisation model. The hierarchical planning method is evaluated using a practical case example based on a valve production system of a manufacturing company.
