Extreme Enterprise

Extreme Enterprise is the extension of Extreme Manufacturing to the enterprise (business) level.

An Enterprise development model, based on extemely rapid (both efficient and effective) development for enterprise. Extreme Enterprise is the analogue of Extreme Manufacturing (applicable to product design/build) - but extended to the development of enterprises.

The distinction between Extreme Manufacturing and Extreme Enterprise is that Extreme Manufacturing can be funded by existing companies, while Extreme Manufacturing may be funded by startup entrepreneurs. Thus, the Exteme Enterprise is more directly related to creating the open source economy than Extreme Manufacturing - as Extreme Manufacturing may be applied only within a company (proprietary) - while Extreme Enterprise is likely to be applied to a more open audience, where stakeholders do not come from specific organizations, but instead create new organizations. The Extreme Enterprise represents a direct means to the essential goal of Distributive Enterprise.

The enterprise development goes up to the point of sale, thereby completing the production cycle. Assuming exchange systems, the point of sale may be an actual sale, or in the model of Neo-Subsistence or usufruct, the product may be used directly, without selling it.

An Extreme Enterprise is executed with Distributed Production, Open Source Production Engineering, and Distributed Quality Control - which provides industrial productivity on a small scale at 10x the effectiveness compared to centralized production. It is essentially a distributed production model, with intent of Distributed Market Substitution.
