Abstract In order to enhance quality and reliability of mechanical and electrical products, the methods of taking corresponding corrective measures to eliminate or alleviate product failure in advance have been widely concerned. Failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) is a typical prevention reliability analysis method. However, there are some drawbacks in traditional FMEA method. To overcome these drawbacks, we propose a hybrid risk evaluation method, which combines picture fuzzy sets (PFSs), the PF-linear programming model (PF-LPM) method and the PF-weighted aggregated sum product assessment (PF-WASPAS) method. We adopt PFSs to evaluate risks of products. In order to overcome drawback of the traditional distance between PFSs, some new distance measures between PFSs based on the Dice similarity and the Jaccard similarity are proposed by us. The PF-LPM method which considers the subjective weights of risk factors and calculates synthetical deviation with the Dice similarity-based distance is utilized to calculate the weights of risk factors. Moreover, the PFWA operator and the PFWG operator are used by us to fuse experts’ evaluation information. Then, the PF-WASPAS method is utilized to rank failure modes. Finally, an illustrative example with respect to pallet exchange rack is introduced, and the rationality, effectiveness and applicability of the proposed method are verified by a discussion and comparison.

The paper aims at presenting the FMEA method based on the fuzzy technique, representing a new approach to the failure analysis and its effects on the observed system. The FMEA (Failure Mode and Effect Analysis) method has assigned the risks a coefficient i.e. a numerical indicator that very clearly defines the degree of risk. The risk is calculated as a mathematical function of RPN which depends on the effects S, probability O that some case will lead to a failure and to a probability that a failure D can not be detected before its effects are realized. RPN = S O D. The FMEA method, based on the fuzzy logic, makes a more reliable evaluation of the observed system failures possible.

Failure mode and effect analysis is one of the QS-9000 quality system requirement supplements, with a wide applicability in all industrial fields. FMEA is the inductive failure analysis instruments which can be defined as a methodical group of activities intended to recognize and evaluate the potential failure modes of a product/ process and its effects with an aim to identify actions which could eliminate or reduce the chance of the potential failure before the problem occur. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the FMEA research and application in the Thermal Power Plant Industry. The research will highlight the application of FMEA method to water tubes (WT) in boilers with an aim to find-out all the major and primary causes of boiler failure and reduce the breakdown for continuous power generation in the plant. Failure Mode and Effect Analysis technique is applied on most critical or serious parts (components) of the plant which having highest Risk Priority Number (RPN). Comparison is made between the quantitative results of FMEA and reliability field data from real tube systems. These results are discussed to establish relationships which are useful for future water tube designs.

This research is aimed at utilizing failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) which is a reliability analysis method applicable to rotary injection pump design. In traditional FMEA, Risk Priority Number (RPN) ranking system is used to evaluate, the risk level of failures to rank failures and to prioritize actions. RPN is obtained by multiplying the scores of three risk factors like the Severity (S), Occurrence (O) and Detection (D) of each failure mode. RPN method can not emphasise the nature of the problem, which is multi-attributable and has a group of experts' opinions. Furthermore, attributes are subjective and have different importance levels. In this paper, a framework is proposed to overcome the shortcomings of the traditional method through the fuzzy set theory. Two case studies have been shown to demonstrate the methodology thus developed. It is illustrated a parallel between the results obtained by the traditional method and fuzzy logic for determining the RPNs. We expect that fuzzy FMEA model will assist FMEA team in assess and rank risks more precisely compared with risk assessment model of method.

This study aims to analyze defects in the sheet production process in the 301 Corrugator area by analyzing the total number of sheets produced and the number of sheets that have been damaged over a certain period of time using the Statistical Process Control (SPC) method and Failure Modes and Effect Analysis (FMEA). Based on the research results, there are 6 defects, namely untidy cuts, wrinkled sheets, uneven surface, curved sheets, uneven sides, loose sheet layers. The most dominant defect is uneven surface, which is 185.141 Kg or 60%. Based on the value of the RPN table, the product defect that has the highest value is the loose sheet layer with an RPN value of 245 from the calculation stage of the RPN value, a suggestion is made to reduce defects resulting from the loose sheet layer. From the stage of making improvements, the company should prioritize and focus on the types of disabilities and types of disabilities that have the highest RPN ranking when using the Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) method.

Failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) is a structured approach for discovering possible failures that may occur in the design of a product or process. Since classical FMEA is not sufficient to represent the vagueness and impreciseness in human decisions and evaluations, many extensions of ordinary fuzzy sets such as hesitant fuzzy sets, intuitionistic fuzzy sets, Pythagorean fuzzy sets, spherical fuzzy sets, and picture fuzzy sets. Classical FMEA has been handled to capture the uncertainty through these extensions. Neutrosophic sets is a different extension from the others handling the uncertainty parameters independently. A novel interval-valued neutrosophic FMEA method is developed in this study. The proposed method is presented in several steps with its application to an automotive company in order to prioritize the potential causes of failures during the design process by considering multi-experts’ evaluations.

This paper intends to present the application of FMEA method on Three-Way Catalytic Converter (TWC) system. Catalytic converter of auto-exhaust emission is one of the most successful applications of heterogeneous catalysis, both in commercial and environmental point of view. FMEA method will be applied to this system to quantitatively determine and evaluate its risk factors. This method is being employed effectively for identifying and addressing what potentially could go wrong with a product or process. It is expected to enhance the lifetime of the TWC by improving its resistance to deactivation. It is widely accepted that FMEA is one of the best quality improvement tool. For the last several decades, FMEA has been widely used in industry especially in automotive sectors. This research will cover mostly on the system and design of the TWC itself as the most important part for controlling the exhaust emission from automobiles. By improving its resistance to deactivation will contribute to longer lifetime of automotive catalytic converter.

This study aims to evaluate the risks that may arise during the production process in a plastic injection manufacturing enterprise with traditional Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) and Grey Relational Analysis (GRA). Although it is a widely used analytical technique that helps to identify and reduce the risks of failure in a process, the Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) has some drawbacks that the different risks can have the same risk priority values and the weight of risk factors is not take into consideration. This situation has been tried to be eliminated by integrating the FMEA with the GRA. As a result, it is seen that the order of risk priority values of the identified failure changes according to both methods.

The FMEA method is a tool used to identify the consequences or consequences of a system or process failure and reduce or eliminate failure. In determining risk factors and system improvement priorities, traditional FMEA still has weaknesses, where FMEA traditionally places severity factors, occurrence, and detection at the same level of importance, even though in reality different levels of importance and the importance of FMEA assessment teams are ignored.          In this study, the fuzzy method is integrated into FMEA where the severity factor, occurrence, and detection are assessed in linguistic form. In this fuzzy method, the weight of the interests of the FMEA assessment team is taken into account to do ranking and repair priorities. The application of Fuzzy methods to FMEA to determine significant risk factors and prioritizing improvements from various alternatives chosen for the process of repairing KRI in Surabaya Lantamal V, so that it is expected that the application of this method can improve the operational performance of Fasharkan to eliminate or reduce the risks that occur in the repair process ships in the eastern region of the fleet.
