Abstract: This paper deals with the development of a process-based cooperation support system for outtasking of complementary competencies in production networks of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs). For this, an exemplary application domain for small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises deciding to start cooperation with other SMEs will be presented. The phases and the associated tasks of cooperation are described and how the web services support and guide the company in these processes. Specific tasks are the analysis of core competencies, the review of the ability to cooperate and the implementation of a cross-company coordination process into the production planning process.

Keywords: supply chain cooperation; manufacturing SMEs; small and medium-sized enterprises; core competencies; ability to cooperate; cross-company coordination; production planning; web services; supply chain planning; production networks; collaboration support; supply chain management; SCM; supply chain collaboration; outsourcing.
