Popis:	The objective of this paper is to present the design of an agent based system for a specific model factory. A manufacturing system can be seen as a collection of autonomous, problem solving agents which interact when they have interdependencies. A concurrent programming formalism is used for the specification of the agent based system. Agents have the possibility to subcontract jobs. Compared to a previously specified heterarchical control architecture, the agent based system is more robust and flexible. The suitability of an agent based approach is dependent on characteristics of the production system, such as uncertainty in product specifications.
