AbstractThe paper presents the procedure of performing the safety assessment using the FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) method, according to the latest version of the PN-EN IEC 60812:2018 standard. The attention was paid to the application of the method for the assemblies and subassemblies of rail vehicles, for which it is increasingly used. The example used in the following paper refers to the fire protection system of a rail vehicle that meets the requirements of the PN-EN IEC 60812:2018 standard. Performing the risk assessment at the design stage of railway products is a part of the customer’s requirements and is a key factor in the certification and placing them in service.

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.

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.

Abstract. For the levee strengthening project Krachtige IJsseldijken Krimpenerwaard (KIJK) a study has been done to examine all buildings along 10 km of levee. These buildings are an important factor in the design stage, because of its sensitivity to deformations due to the natural compaction of the soft deposits (creep) and the potential effects of the levee strengthening. This paper covers the quantification of building settlement due to natural subsidence using InSAR. Research is performed in the city archives to establish the characteristics of the buildings, such as the foundation type. Although the city archive is well organised, it is not complete. The building data density is substantially improved using InSAR information. This enhanced data set is a key factor in establishing an consistent assessment of the risk of damage for the different levee strengthening alternatives.

Kebocoran data dan penyalahgunaan informasi oleh pihak yang tidak berkepentingan yang pernah terjadi mengharuskan perlindungan terhadap keamanan Sistem Informasi di Fakultas Teknik Universitas Diponegoro (SIFT UNDIP) untuk terus ditingkatkan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi risiko, menganalisis manajemen keamanan sistem informasi, dan menentukan prioritas risiko pada SIFT UNDIP. Penelitian dilakukan menggunakan metode Failure Mode Effect and Analysis berbasis framework ISO 27001. Hasil analisis menunjukkan terdapat 25 risk agent pada SIFT UNDIP yang dikategorikan menjadi empat jenis asset. Risiko tertinggi pada kategori High Level Risk adalah risiko ketergantungan terhadap karyawan dengan nilai Risk Priority Number sebesar 80.

As a safety and reliability analysis technique, failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) has been used extensively in several industries for the identification and elimination of known and potential failures. However, some shortcomings associated with the FMEA method have limited its applicability. This study aims at presenting a comprehensive FMEA model that could efficiently handle the preference interdependence and psychological behavior of experts in the process of failure modes ranking. In this model, a linguistic variable expressed by the interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy number (IVPFN) is utilized by experts to provide preference information with regard to failure modes’ evaluation and risk factors’ weight. Then, to depict the interdependent relationships between experts’ preferences, the Bonferroni mean operator is extended to IVPFN to aggregate the experts’ preference. Subsequently, an extended TODIM approach in which the dominance degree of failure modes is calculated by grey relational analysis is utilized to determine the risk priority of failure modes. Finally, a practical example concerning the risk assessment of a nuclear reheat valve system is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness and feasibility of the presented method. In addition, a sensitivity analysis and comparison analysis are conducted, and the results show that the preference interdependence and psychological behavior of experts have an important effect on the risk priority of failure modes.

The apartment is a vertical building used for residential purposes. It is included in a high rise building category with high occupational risk accident level due to its work complexity, or high elevation factors. This research discussed the risk assessment of occupational accident at one of the apartment constructions in Surabaya in order to determine its dominant risk factors and mitigation. Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) method was applied to this research. It is a risk assessment method based on severity, occurrence, and detection. Following the relevant assessment, it resulted in 3 types of occupational accidents with the highest Risk Priority Number, namely height work accident, falling material from tower crane, and risk of landslide excavation.

Abstract An important issue during the operation of rail vehicles is the dynamics of forced loads. The identification of these workloads and the evaluation of their impact on the reliability and durability of the structure is essential for maintaining the safety of operation. For this reason, an important issue in the assessment of durability is to identify potential hazards that cause object failure. This paper presents the results of fatigue tests for the selected structure of a rail bogie. The results were then used to conduct the Degradation Analysis of the object. The purpose of this analysis was to estimate the real values of the durability and reliability indicators of the bogie frame from the point of view of the safety of its operation.

Abstract The article explores the use of FMEA method in the logistics processes in manufacturing plants in Bulgaria. The surveyed enterprises have a system ISO 9001 and apply different methods of analysis and assessment of logistics processes. The purpose of this study is to present a model for improving the reliability of logistics processes through the FMEA (Failure Mode and Effect Analysis) method. An inquiry among 14 organizations in the implementation of FMEA was conducted. The results show that FMEA is not used for assessment in logistics processes and provides useful insights for decision-making to improve the reliability of supply. A framework based on the survey is presented for determining the reliability of logistics processes in manufacturing plants. The study demonstrates the applicability of the method in logistics processes and the role FMEA can play in assessing logistics processes.
