Agile supply chain comes into being with the development of supply chain and agile manufacturing. It is an effective method to use multiagent technology to support agile supply chain management. Based on the analysis on the characteristic of agile supply chain and multiagent technology, and to achieve the goal of quick response and dynamic reconstruction, this paper presents the architecture of multiagent-based agile supply chain, and analyzes the construction and the operation mechanism of enterprise agents and coordination agent in detail. Furthermore, taking CORBA (Common Object Request Broker Architecture) as the distributed standard, this paper discusses the design and the development of agile supply chain system.
