Abstract :
Proposed in this paper is an object-oriented model of Agile Manufacturing System with a definition of the agile objects at four levels and their features. Meanwhile, it explains the process in which the agile objects, under the stimulation of tasks (market demands) get assembled into objects at higher levels and are integrated into agile system by sending information to each other and by accepting information selectively. Here the object-oriented method is adopted to clarify that the agile system is a flat dynamic network in structure, and that in working mechanisms it mainly adapts to the quick market changes by rapid reengineering
