The emergence of various new concepts in cross enterprise production, which focuses on different market conditions and objectives, has been observed in recent years. Systems supply and consignment storage represent prominent examples. To successfully explore individual potentials of cross enterprise production, the design and implementation of enterprise specific concepts can be supported by the provision of individual process models. Both a multitude of alternative process chain models as well as a suitable methodology for individual process chain design is thereby required. In the following, a module-base design framework for process chains in cross enterprise production using the extended Integrated Production Process Model (eIPPM) is introduced. Based both on the provision of process modules and design rules as the main contribution of the eIPPM as well as a detailed design methodology, the design of individual process chains in cross enterprise production becomes possible. Thereby, the enterprise specific process and task allocation represents one of the major design elements. Finally, two case studies are presented to verify the individual applicability.
