Existing supply chains (SCs) have some disadvantages. In the paper, a kind of agile supply chain (ASC) is created and discussed. First, ASC is defined and analyzed. Then the judge criterion, qualified ASC and technology is given. Next, the basic functions of ASC are created and listed. Several key technologies of ASC are put forward and discussed, where the information integration for ASC management and fast system reorganization are two key issues. Finally, conclusions are drawn out and further research work is given out.
