Agility and response to the market quickly is the critical success factor for today's enterprise. Agile supply chain management now is becoming an effective and advanced measure for modern enterprise to be competitive, which needs the support of agile information system to integrate the supply chain more effectively and quickly. Consequently, to adapt to the market variation, the software reuse that supports the enterprise agile supply chain management is in high demand. Proposed in this paper is an agent based agile supply chain management model that is partioned into business logic and transaction process. A multi agent system is implemented to process the enterprise business transaction, and a rule based system is designed to control the enterprise business workflow and multi agent cooperation. The model can support effectively the dynamic creation of supply chain and the reengineering of business processes, and can enhance the distributed information management, software reusability and scalability of the supply chain system.
