Abstract
With the globalisation of economies enterprises are operating as large, complex networks of autonomous units. Design offices, manufacturing facilities, services and maintenance stations are scattered around the world. Component supplier networks provide vital subassemblies and parts. Such intricate field of endeavour needs a clear operational structure in order to design and manage the continuous metamorphosis necessary not just to keep businesses alive, but also to strive for growing businesses and operate them successfully during their whole of life.
