heal.abstract	The paper proposes the design of an innovative management model for supply networks. This model promote the requirement of the close cooperation and adaptability as well as flexibility of ad-hoc structures throughout the supply network of custom made products and services. Structures of this type will respect principles that differ from the classical model of the industrial age, and evolve towards self organising and self adapting entities. This type of structures will be organised, so that they provide flexible interfaces for plugging and adapting fairly quickly into other ad-hoc cooperations for the purpose of providing custom made products and services. Once the purpose for which this ""Virtual Integration"" has taken place, has been served, integration can be abandoned partially or completely and other structures can be formed in order to continue offering custom made and individual products or services in a new form. © ECMS, 2006.	en
