Production companies and commercial enterprises which are integrated into multi-level customer-supplier relationships

Industrial enterprises in the automotive, high-tech, toolbuilding, medical technology, semi-conductor and electronics sector. In these fields the product structure is deeper and more complex than in others and the production of batch products with a high number of variants is more common. The execution of production and distribution therefore needs a higher level of IT-support.

Companies manufacturing several levels in the bill of materials of a product within their own company network.

Companies which are networked or linked to produce one or more finished goods. These companies temporarily make up a virtual company together.
