Abstract: Abstract In order to adapt to new modifications of a product, a new production line and competences should be developed. Enhancing this adaptability feature is the target of the presented conceptual approach. This target is achieved by constructing a product, which is fixed at its place, by heterogeneous mobile production units. In this paper, the product is an aircraft which is made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic. Having two types of agents (i.e. planning agents and representative agents), the conceptual approach supports flexibility and parallelism too. The planning agents depend on their general knowledge on the construction progress to provide an abstract plan. The representative agents, which represent the physical production units, depend on their local surrounding environment to draw a concrete plan from the provided abstract plan. Defining the roles of both types of agents are also within the scope of this paper.
