Abstract: A system framework and run mechanism of agile manufacturing for die and mold in network and digital environment are presented. A management information system for die and mold agile manufacturing is development to collect in time all kinds of die and mold enterprise resources through internet, optimize virtual enterprise resources configuration, plan and schedule collaborative work tasks, and manage and monitor the process of agile manufacturing. On the basis of existed C3P system platform, a CAPP system and MRPII/ERP system are developed. Having integrated these systems, a collaboration-based digital manufacturing system is set up, which supports to optimize die and mold design, make production plan and executes digital manufacturing. By coordinating the management information system and digital manufacturing system, the agile manufacturing of a big and complex die of car inner decoration part is demonstrated, which improves highly the response speed to market.

Key words: Die and mold, Digital manufacturing, Dynamic alliance, System integration
