Abstract :
Product scheme design is the most important design phase to improve product quality and promote design capability. Collaboration is a key approach for enterprises, which has different advantages to survive in an ever more volatile competitive market environment. Based on the analysis of the process of quality-oriented scheme design, the design collaborative loop is presented and the workflow model based on is built. With the introduction of the multi-agents technology, the implementation of the workflow to support the model is presented
