The Extended Enterprise where core product functionalities are provided separately by different companies who come together to provide a customer defined product is made possible by the emerging integration of computing and telecommunications technologies. These technologies facilitate the development of competitive advantage by exploiting linkages in the value chain. If the challenge of CIM (Computer Integrated Manufacturing) was to realize integration within the four walls of the plants, the challenge to manufacturing systems analysts and researchers today is to support inter-enterprise networking across the value chain. Changes in product and process technologies and the emerging pressure for environmentally benign production systems and products further enhance this challenge.
