This paper presents a framework for modelling and realisation of a Multi-Agent System (MAS) aimed at process planning. Firstly, the concepts of an ontology are constructed and partial subtasks are defined. Secondly, a knowledge base is implemented, regarding the relations stated in the ontology. Finally, a cooperative system is set that will establish speech acts to achieve the system goal by completing subtasks. The communication of knowledge and the achievement of subtasks are illustrated by two intelligent agents. They maintain a communication process that is inititated by a Part Agent. Once the message is formed, a response is obtained from the Operation Agent. The strength of this proposal is shown with the implementation of the MAS, in connection with a rule-based system.
