[EN] In the past, manufacturing has been organised primarily on a local level, in
towns and cities. With the development of transport facilities and logistic
distribution-shipping nets, both the market and production have widened
their scope of connection to suppliers and customers on a regional level,
country and, eventually, continent. Over the last decades, manufacturers
have "gone back to core businesses", which resulted in the outsourcing of
all activities they no longer considered of strategic importance to their
market position. However, value-adding activities have now also been
outsourced since specialists, in most cases, manufacture better products at
lower costs. Suppliers developed their core business and skills and have
become specialists in designing and manufacturing theirs parts of the
complete product. In those cases compound products can be manufactured
only by a network of co-operating manufacturers. This network is able to
deliver customised combinations of products and services, produced by its
members, while concurrently being perceived as a single organisation by the
customer. The Extended Enterprise (EE) is a term frequently used today in
business literature to reflect the high level of interdependence that exist
between organisations when they conduct business, not only in
manufacturing industry, but also in others business
areas.Inthiswork,anextendedenterprisereferencemodelisproposedtomodelandana
