Abstract

Conducting automatically a process failure mode and effect analysis, PFMEA, for a factory adapted to produce a product in a production process using a meta model, MM, stored or loaded in a data storage. The stored meta model, MM, comprises abstract factory model elements modeling an abstract factory, AF, including one or more service declarations modeling abstract services across different factories, wherein each service declaration comprises failure mode declarations for different failure modes.
