Method for managing a production process

A non-transitory memory storing a program which can be loaded into a memory of an electronic computing unit, the program comprising instructions which, when executed, cause the electronic computing unit to:

• store fabrication data for fabricating the component in a first file container;
• store reproduction data relating to the component in the first file container, wherein said reproduction data includes a permission relating to the fabrication of the component;
• store production data associated with a production machine during the production process in a second file container, wherein the production data relates to a deployment or utilization of the production machine, problems arising with the production machine, and/or maintenance measures undertaken with regard to the production machine;
• store character data indicating a property of the component in a third file container;
• receive a request;
• and
• provide an encrypted response to the request, the_encrypted response including at least one datum selected from the group of data consisting of:
• the stored fabrication data, the reproduction data, the production data, and/or the character data;
• wherein the fabrication data is encrypted using a first key, the production data in encrypted using a second key, and the character data is encrypted using a third key;
• and
• wherein the first key, the second key, and the third key are each a separate key generated by an asymmetric cryptography method.
