Invade France by way of Belgium, capture Paris in three months, then focus on Russia to avoid a two front war. The emphasis was on use of rapid rail transportation to facilitate logistics. The plan nearly succeeded, but failed in 1914 when Parisians were able to rush troops to the front using taxicabs in the First Battle of the Marne . The war became a war of attrition and trench combat from then onward.

Was the Schlieffen Plan working in 1917?
The Schlieffen Plan was the German stratgey at the beginning of World War I. It called for an invasion of France first and to wipe them out quickly before Russia could mobilize, avoiding a two-front war. However, France held out and Russia was faster than expected. Thus, the Schlieffen Plan failed miserably. It was not working in 1917, even though Russia withdrew from the war because it did not give Germany a short war or a single front war. And besides, France was suppposed to be defeated first.
