Abstract

Especially small and medium-sized enterprises possess not sufficient know-how and resources for developing and producing complex products desired by the customer. Collaborations within production networks with equal righted partners offers the chance to solve this problem. To enable the participation within the network, the paper illustrates the evolution and extension of the management and operation concept Extended Value Chain Management (EVCM), by which the whole life-cycle of such production networks, starting from the generation and ending by the decomposition of this network, is covered. Further, an information tool to support the EVCM is presented.
