Agricultural Risk Management Using Fuzzy TOPSIS Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA)

Fuzzy failure modes and effects analysis by using fuzzy TOPSIS-based fuzzy AHP

Failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) is a widely used engineering technique for designing, identifying and eliminating known and/or potential failures, problems, errors and so on from system, design, process, and/or service before they reach the customer (Stamatis, 1995). In a typical FMEA, for each failure modes, three risk factors; severity (S), occurrence (O), and detectability (D) are e...

Using fuzzy FMEA and fuzzy logic in project risk management

Risk management is one of the most important phases of project management and isthe most recently used by many researchers. In this paper, a fuzzy based method wasproposed which identifies different kinds of risks through the project life cycle.Then, the project risk magnitude can be obtained in regards to five factors, namely“severity”, “occurrence”, and “not detection” which form fuzzy FMEA a...

Design Software Failure Mode and Effect Analysis using Fuzzy TOPSIS Based on Fuzzy Entropy

One of the key pillars of any operating system is its proper software performance. Software failure can have dangerous effects and consequences and can lead to adverse and undesirable events in the design or use phases. The goal of this study is to identify and evaluate the most significant software risks based on the FMEA indices with respect to reduce the risk level by means of experts’ opini...

Analysis of failure modes and solutions in the process of post open-heart surgery using Fuzzy FMEA and Fuzzy TOPSIS Techniques

Introduction: Intensive Care Unit (ICU) in hospitals is one of the most sensitive and costly units which is really important due to safety and health of patients during their stay in these units. Hence, considering the potential risks in this unit, treatment operations for eliminating or decreasing risks are very important. Among these intensive care units, the most important one is the open-he...
