There are insufficient constructs to create necessary and sufficient conditions. Namely, constructs for linking the manufacturer to a product it produces are still lacking.

Formal Axioms

First-Order Logic Axioms

ManufacturerRole(x) → Role(x) ∧ ∃y∃p(Organization(y) ∧ ProductProductionProcess(p) ∧ participatesInAtSomeTime(y,p) ∧ roleOf(x,y))

Semi-Formal Natural Language Axioms

if x is a ‘manufacturer role’ x then x is an ‘agent role’ that is the ‘role of’ some ‘organization’ when it ‘participates in at some time’ some ‘product production process’
