TL;DR
A multi-agent based framework in which process planning and production scheduling are integrated is introduced, as a preliminary step towards agile manufacturing, which will enable the utilisation of manufacturing resources to be dynamically optimised as well as provide a platform on which alternative configurations of manufacturing systems can be assessed.

The paper considers the problem of building a multi-agent system as a software engineering enterprise and discusses three issues: how agents might be specified; how these specifications might be refined or otherwise transformed into efficient implementations: and how implemented agents and multi- agent systems might subsequently be verified, to show that they are correct with respect to their specifications.
