Within the scope of the collaborative research centre "Non-hierarchical regional production networks" at Chemnitz University of Technology, a virtual enterprise model is developed. This is based on very small performance units - the competence cells (CCs). The precondition of the efficient and thereby competitive operation of those networks is a network controlling for objectively selecting the best suitable CCs for every order. This problem gains complexity because the manufacture of a product can be carried through in different ways.
