When component of the system fails, the system reconfiguration is often less than perfect&#046; To analyze the system with failure/repair processes, discrete event and meta&#8211;heuristic models are used&#046; As a manufacturing system includes a large number of components with failure/repair processes, the system&#8211;level conventional model becomes computationally intractable&#046; We aim to discuss new formalism for the diagnosis of such systems using a new production framework, e&#046;g&#046;
