Integrating multi-agent system, the plan assignment model base on multi-agent is proposed to solve the assignment problem of production plan among some parallel shops with geographic distribution. The advantages and disadvantages of Contract Net Protocol (CNP) applied in production plan was analyzed, and the improved negotiation mechanism of CNP is developed. Through the negotiation of Management Agent, Shop Agent and Plan Agent, it realized the optimization assignment of production plan. Finally, the simulation example shows that whole interaction of multi-agent and proves the validity of the model.
