RCM provides a structured and practical approach for arriving at an acceptable maintenance strategy for each component of a given system. In this paper, a study on reliability centered maintenance (RCM) has been conducted to reduce the total number of failures and its effects on the conventional lathe machine. The risk priority number (RPN) is, one of the key factors in determining the critical ranking of a failure mode of the mechanical equipment but there is a drawback in determining the critical ranking from RPN. There might be more than one failure modes which can share the same RPN number and therefore critical ranking cannot be assigned to those failure modes. Initially, the Severity, Occurrence and Detection rating integrating with failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) is taken from several experts and then RPN is calculated for each of those experts. Then the criticality of the failure mode of the functionally significant items of conventional lathe machine is judged on the basis of mean RPN value as well as using the range. Overall the risk or criticality level of each failure mode is identified. After that, RCM logic is used for selection of a proper maintenance strategy for each failure mode.

ABSTRACT This theoretical and reflexive study analyzed the risks related to the maintenance of patency of the Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter with the use of saline solution in comparison with saline-filled syringes, through the application of the Healthcare Failure Mode and Effect Analysis - HFMEA. The process was mapped, detailing the failure modes of each step. For the calculation of the Risk Priority Number, the severity and probability of the failure modes were analyzed. This analysis gave rise to the severity and probability matrix. Finally, actions to reduce the failure modes in the maintenance of patency were proposed, considering the use of saline-filled syringes in comparison to the use of saline ampoules. It was verified that the use of saline ampoules is associated with a greater risk, since it requires four stages more than saline-filled syringe does not, increasing the risk of contamination and the level of three different risks, which would result in additional hospital costs. The use of the saline-filled syringe would avoid risks that could negatively affect the patient’s health, the nursing professional and the health institution.


Maintenance of machines is crucial measures in order to have stable and improved work flow. Any kind of failure might result in complete failure of the machine. Hence it becomes essential to identify the vulnerable failures that might occur in the components of any machine. The present work is carried out in order to improve the scheduling in maintenance of a lathe machine. Different components of the machine are studied in this research. “Failure mean effective analysis (FMEA)” method is applied to identify the failures associated with the components of the machine. Risk priority number is calculated based on which the components are provided with ranks. The rank signifies the flow of maintenance for all the components. The results reveal that the flexure bearing needs the least maintenance as it has the highest rank.

Failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) is one of the risk analysis techniques recommended by international quality certification systems, such as ISO 9000, ISO/TS 16949, CE, and QS9000. Most current FMEA methods use the risk priority number (RPN) value to evaluate the risk of failure. The RPN value is the mathematical product of the three parameters of a failure mode that is rated between 1 and 10 in terms of its severity (S), occurrence (O), and detection (D), respectively. However, the RPN method has been found with three main drawbacks: (1) high duplicate RPN values, (2) failure to consider the ordered weights of S, O, and D, and (3) failure to consider the direct and indirect relationships between the failure modes and causes of failure. Therefore, this paper integrates the technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) and the decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) approach to rank the risk of failure. A case of an inlet plate ring that has been drawn from a professional mechanical factory is presented to further illustrate the proposed approach. After comparing the result that was obtained from the proposed method with the conventional RPN and DEMATEL methods, it was found that the proposed method can resolve the abovementioned RPN ranking issues and give a more appropriate risk assessment than other listed approaches to provide valuable information for the decision makers.

The Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) was applied for risk assessment of confectionary manufacturing, in whichthe traditional methods and equipment were intensively used in the production. Potential failure modes and effects as well as their possible causes were identified in the process flow. Processing stages that involve intensive handling of food by workers had the highest risk priority numbers (RPN = 216 and 189), followed by chemical contamination risks in different stages of the process. The application of corrective actions substantially reduced the RPN (risk priority number) values. Therefore, the implementation of FMEA (The Failure Mode and Effect Analysis) model in confectionary manufacturing improved the safety and quality of the final products.

Fuzzy risk priority numbers (FRPNs) were proposed for assessment of the probabilistic risk by synthetically using fuzzy set theory, failure mode and effect analysis. The priority rank of failure modes is evaluated by fuzzy risk priority number in the fuzzy failure mode and effect analysis, where occurrence probability ranking, effect severity ranking and detection difficulty ranking are all fuzzy weighted geometric mean, and the FRPN can be computed using alpha-level set and optimization model. An engine example was provided to illustrate the proposed fuzzy FMEA and the detailed computational process of the FRPNs.


India is a large exporter of tea leaves and has industries involving in Tea Leaves processing. There are generally three stages in the processing of tea leaves and many machines are involved that cater to various process to convert the raw tea leaves to usable products. In the first stage there is a machine titled Leaf Shredder that is critical in the process as the entire process is a product based and a breakdown of this machine in particular affects the entire process from that point. This study focuses on the failure modes of the Leaf Shredder machine and its effect. The Total Quality Management (TQM) tool - Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) is used in this study. The critical functional components of the Leaf Shredder are five in number. Through the study, data has been collected and the Risk Priority Number has been calculated. Based on the Risk Priority Number value it is seen that the Cutting Knife, Main Shaft and the Bearing are the components that are having a tendency to fail. The Reason of failure was analyzed. From the analysis it is seen that the main cause of failure is due to improper maintenance of the components and unbalancing of the cutting knife weight. A well thought of plan of action to maintain the Tea Leaf Shredder will bring down the failure rate and improve the reliability of the product layout

The fast development and expansion of any service organizations which followed by increases in the asset numbers that’s need to have a proper maintenance strategy which should be cost effective. The aim of any strategy is to have a plan that contribute to improve asset performance by reducing downtime of asset failures.The aim of this paper is to set plan that determine the processes of creating failure code that can create a library of failure modes with its consequences and risk. This allow service provider to quickly understand the problem and any action that can be taken which have already proven by failure mode effect analysis. Also it’s identify most of the functional failures that might happened in the critical asset in the OETC’s network. In this study the transformer asset class was taken into the consideration for full failure mood and fault tree analysis.Defining failure codes can give specific instructions to complete a task to reduce the main time to wait in any failure from the total main time to repair, and any smiler failure mode from other assets the corrective action will remain consistent. The selective processes of creating a failure code give the organization a more holistic view of transformers risk which will be used to improve maintenance strategy by integrate those codes into work order system like CMMS
