Failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) is a systematic approach to identify
and analyse potential failures and their effects in a system or process. The
FMEA approach, however, requires domain experts to manually analyse the FMEA
model to derive risk-reducing actions that should be applied. In this paper, we
provide a formal framework to allow for automatic planning and acting in FMEA
models. More specifically, we cast the FMEA model into a Markov decision
process which can then be solved by existing solvers. We show that the FMEA
approach can not only be used to support medical experts during the modelling
process but also to automatically derive optimal therapies for the treatment of
patients.

通过将 FMEA 模型转化为马尔科夫决策过程，我们提供了一个正式的框架来实现自动计划和操作，不仅可以支持医学专家在建模过程中应用，还可以自动确定对患者治疗的最佳治疗方案。
