Abstract Failure mode and symptoms analysis (FMSA) is a relatively new and still not very much employed variation of failure modes, effects and criticality analysis (FMECA), a technique broadly used in reliability, safety, and quality engineering. While FMECA is an extension of the well-known failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) method, primarily used when a criticality analysis is required, FMSA focuses on the symptoms produced by each considered failure mode and the selection of the most appropriate detection and monitoring techniques and strategies, maximizing the confidence level in the diagnosis and prognosis. However, in the same way as FMECA and FMEA, FMSA inherits some deficiencies, presenting somewhat biased results and uncertainties intrinsic to its development, due to its own algorithm and the dependence on knowledge-based inputs from experts. Accordingly, this article presents a fuzzy logic application as a complement to FMSA in order to mitigate such uncertainties' effects. As a practical example, the method is applied to a Kaplan turbine shaft system. The monitoring priority number (MPN) obtained through FMSA is compared to the fuzzy monitoring priority number (FMPN) resulting from fuzzy logic application, demonstrating how the proposed method improves the evaluation of detection and monitoring techniques and strategies.

Background and Objectives: Risk management is considered an integral part of laboratory medicine to assure laboratory quality and patient safety. However, the concept of risk management is philosophical, so actually performing risk management in a clinical laboratory can be challenging. Therefore, we would like to develop a sustainable, practical system for continuous total laboratory risk management. Materials and Methods: This study was composed of two phases: the development phase in 2019 and the application phase in 2020. A concept flow diagram for the computerized risk registry and management tool (RRMT) was designed using the failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) and the failure reporting, analysis, and corrective action system (FRACAS) methods. The failure stage was divided into six according to the testing sequence. We applied laboratory errors to this system over one year in 2020. The risk priority number (RPN) score was calculated by multiplying the severity of the failure mode, frequency (or probability) of occurrence, and detection difficulty. Results: 103 cases were reported to RRMT during one year. Among them, 32 cases (31.1%) were summarized using the FMEA method, and the remaining 71 cases (68.9%) were evaluated using the FRACAS method. There was no failure in the patient registration phase. Chemistry units accounted for the highest proportion of failure with 18 cases (17.5%), while urine test units accounted for the lowest portion of failure with two cases (1.9%). Conclusion: We developed and applied a practical computerized risk-management tool based on FMEA and FRACAS methods for the entire testing process. RRMT was useful to detect, evaluate, and report failures. This system might be a great example of a risk management system optimized for clinical laboratories.

The rapid development of technology and industrialization demands an increasing need for strategic planning. One of the strategies needed for a company to remain competitive in the industrialized world is to increase productivity. However, practically several companies still experience difficulties in making efforts to increase productivity so that the productivity achieved is not optimal. The same thing happened at PT. Mega Andalan Kalasan, especially on the Assembly Unit of the Hospital Equipment. Where the productivity achieved cannot be categorized as optimal because it can be seen from the number of non-value added activities that occur in assembly process. Among the products produced, it is known that the Operating Table Manual product has the highest percentage of non-value added activity, which is 30% of the total cycle time. This study aims to identify risks using the Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) method and design a mitigation strategy as an initial effort to improve productivity by minimizing non-value added activities. The identification results show that there are 22 risks with moderate severity but high occurrence. Recommendations in the form of implementing better quality control on incoming materials are one of the strategies which capable of mitigating 40% of the risk of existing non value added activities. Adanya perkembangan teknologi dan industrialisasi yang semakin pesat menuntut kebutuhan akan perencanaan strategi semakin meningkat. Salah satu strategi yang dibutuhkan agar sebuah perusahaan dapat tetap bersaing di dunia perindustrian adalah dengan meningkatkan produktivitas. Namun pada penerapannya, beberapa perusahaan masih mengalami kesulitan dalam melakukan upaya peningkatan produktivitas sehingga produktivitas yang dicapai belum optimal. Hal yang serupa terjadi di PT. Mega Andalan Kalasan, khususnya pada lantai kerja Assembly unit Hospital Equipment. Dimana produktivitas yang dicapai belum bisa dikatakan optimal karena terlihat dari banyaknya non value added activity yang terjadi pada proses assembly. Diantara sejumlah produk yang dihasilkan, diketahui bahwa pengerjaan produk Operating Table Manual memiliki persentase non value added activity yang tertinggi yaitu sebanyak 30% dari total waktu siklusnya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi risiko dengan menggunakan metode Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) dan merancang strategi mitigasi sebagai upaya awal untuk memperbaiki produktivitas dengan meminimalisir aktivitas non value added. Hasil identifikasi menunjukkan terdapat 22 risiko dengan tingkat severity sedang namun memiliki occurence yang tinggi. Rekomendasi berupa penerapan quality control yang lebih baik terhadap incoming material menjadi salah satu strategi yang mampu memitigasi 40% risiko aktivitas non value added yang ada.

Definition Of

Considering the market need and customer attraction, automakers are always trying to define new projects and present products with new capabilities in the market. That is why a significant part of car companies’ development research is focused on the definition of new projects. Principally, project risk management in car companies is essential and thus given special attention. There are different theories and methods of project risk control. However, since there is complete awareness of FMEA-related issues (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) in automotive companies due to the establishment of the quality management system, the project's risk analysis using FMEA method to control the risk of automotive industry projects is presented in this paper by a real example. For this purpose, FMEA indicators tables are designed and presented proportionally to project risk management. Results of this research show that using failure mode and effects analysis for project risk management ensures the detection of project's weaknesses and provides a practical model for identification and reduction of project risks.

Presentation Methods

The article is devoted to the development of the concept of the state to manage its tax risks, based on a systematic approach. The author's concept presupposes the presence of the following elements logically arranged according to the principle "from the general to the particular": 1) mechanisms for managing tax risks, 2) disclosing methodological recommendations, 3) specific proposals for changing legislation. To achieve this goal, the author used general scientific methods (deduction and induction, analysis and synthesis, observation, description, generalization) and private scientific methods of cognition (comparison method, graphical and tabular data presentation methods). We have presented a brief overview of the main tax risks of the Russian Federation in the current economic environment, which are classified in four areas: 1) risks in the field of value added taxation; 2) risks in the field of taxation of profits and income; 3) risks, the source of which is Russia's membership in the Eurasian Economic Union; 4) customs risks. The author presents a general scheme of tax risk management by the state, which includes the context, goals and management strategy. The priority mechanisms for managing the tax risks of the state are formulated on the basis of the presented classification of tax risks. These areas include: introduction of an end-to-end product traceability system; substantiation of taxation methods; joint elimination of tax risks (Federal Tax Service, Federal Customs Service, Ministry of Labor, Federal Service for Financial Monitoring); optimization of tax administration costs on the part of both tax authorities and taxpayers; harmonization of indirect taxation, including duty-free trade; harmonization of international tax rules at the international level; selection of the most effective tools for eliminating multiple taxation. A draft "road map" has been developed to improve the management of state tax risks.

The article highlights the aspects of risk management in the information system. According to the analysis of the work of Russian and foreign scientists and world practices in the field of risk management, it is stated that there is a need to improve the effectiveness of risk management of information system and to develop a method for managing the risks of the information system. As a solution to the problem of effective risk management of the information system, there has been proposed a formalized procedure for managing the risks of the information system. The scientific novelty of this solution is the use of decision space and optimization space to reduce risks. This procedure allows to assess the damage, risk and effectiveness of risk management of the information system. The risks of the information system are determined and analyzed; a pyramidal risk diagram is developed. This diagram allows you to describe the relationship of risks with the components of the information system. The negative consequences to which these risks can lead are given. The analysis of methods and approaches to risk management has been carried out. Based on the results of the analysis, the methods GRAMM, CORAS, GOST R ISO / IEC scored to the maximum. The weak points of these methods and the difficulty of applying these methods in practice are described. The developed formalized risk management procedure to control the risks of information system can be used as management system’s element of the information security quality that complies with the recommendations of GOST R ISO / IEC 27003-2012. The prospect of further development of the research results is the development of management systems of risk of information system.
