Abstract This paper presents the work done to adapt a system modelling methodology, ICAM DEFinition Zero (IDEF0), to perform manufacturing diagnosis. It describes the basic notions of IDEF0 modelling and the underlying principle of a novel reasoning technique, the “worst-first” search, developed for manufacturing diagnosis. The reasoning technique which was originally based on graph theory and possibility theory, has been adapted to access the information stored in an IDEF0 model. Details of a prototype IDEF0-based system for manufacturing diagnosis are presented. The results of system validation based on a manufacturing system for the production of mechanical components are reported.
