Based on the basic knowledge of reconfigurable manufacturing system and axiomatic design, this paper designed the reconfigurable manufacturing system through two axioms (independence axiom and information axiom) of axiomatic design. In the application of independence axiom, the general goal was decomposed into four levels and each decomposition was accomplished by four steps with their respective design equations. And then the corresponding functional structure table in summary is listed. While in the application of information axiom, the information content of system was calculated under the circumstances of uncoupled design and quasi-coupled design. Finally, the problems and their corresponding solutions of the two axioms of axiomatic design were put forward.
