    Manufacturing companies are affected by an increasing complexity driven thru fast changing requirements in the global market. To meet the large catalogue of requirements, enterprises are forming global value creation networks and provide services jointly. The existing time pressure and the involvement of many stakeholders results in a demand of methods and tools for a quick configuration of such networks. Beside the management of material, information and money flows the quest of a sustainable corporate development poses a further challenge for the decision makers. The consideration of sustainability in business process management is one approach to take also social, economic and environmental aspects within global value creation networks into account. Reviewing existing modelling techniques shows that the requirements for a fast configuration and an adequate management of sustainability are just insufficiently addressed or are raising the complexity further. This paper will explore capabilities of an enterprise modelling technique which supports an integrated handling of network configuration and sustainability management in a fast and efficient manner.

    Nowadays, many companies are using enterprise models within an enterprise planning system to develop their business strategy. In order to follow a holistic sustainability approach, environmental, economic and social aspects have to be integrated into these models on a strategic, tactical and operational level. This results in an increased model complexity and requires mechanisms to ensure consistency and efficient model management. Furthermore, the user is confronted with a variety of data and is not able to perform model validation and verification as well as using the enterprise model as a tool for operational support. This paper presents an approach of a model-based evaluation environment by extending enterprise models with sustainability artefacts, to empower the users within their decision-making towards a sustainable enterprise orientation. A framework for contextual enterprise modelling is applied to provide configurable individual model evaluation and application views.

    The multi-perspective modeling method is an enhancement of enterprise modeling and will enable understandable, operational views ("perspectives") on sustainable value creation. The goal is to allow all stakeholders to make decisions towards the sustainability in their context, ranging from individual enterprise decisions up to cooperation strategies. As known, the sustainability is based on the environmental, economic and social dimensions. The energy and resource efficiency is an essential subset within the sustainability context that affects mainly the first two dimensions. This paper presents an enterprise modeling driven and supported analysis of energy and resource efficiency, which was performed at several small and medium sized enterprises. The experiences gained from this application case are described and their consequences for the multi-perspective modeling method are argued.
