As a normal organization of agile manufacturing which agilely responds to the changing market demands, dynamic alliance is a kind of dynamic strategic alliance, which is formed to complete one project by several companies based on the global information network. Thus, the resource which are available to be distributed and be used become more and more by the cooperation and information shared among the companies, and the alliance is made to respond the market demands quickly by the quickly reconfigurable organization.Based on analysis of the historical background, the principle characters, the basis and principle of building of dynamic alliance, this paper studies thoroughly the problem of product planning and resource scheduling of dynamic alliance by using the relative theories and methods of agile manufacturing, virtual enterprise and agile supply chain.
