Abstract :
The new market trends are very different, so it is crucial to the companies improve the tools and capabilities that allow themselves readjust rapidly and effectively to the news market changes and to the new requirements. In order to facilitate this process, it is proposed in this paper an agent based implementation that can provide to the existent systems the capacity to quickly adapt and reconfigure using standard technology. The proposed framework provides an intelligent tool to autonomously help the configuration when a production operator pretends to introduce a new variant of product in runtime and consult important information provided by the system to monitor execution.
