The double reference to "Verplanung" looks rather murky, but may be somewhat clumsy German; I think "planning " is the word to look for here. The second part of the sentence may then be translated by, perhaps, "in the absence of field service planning".

The complete phrase is "selbständige Verplanung persönlicher Einsätze...", which is why I've changed the headline entry.
