Risk Analysis in Highway Construction Projects Using Failure Mode & Effect Analysis

Failure Mode and Effects Analysis Using Data Envelopment Analysis

A Prioritization Model for HSE Risk Assessment Using Combined Failure Mode, Effect Analysis, and Fuzzy Inference System: A Case Study in Iranian Construction Industry

The unavailability of sufficient data and uncertainty in modeling, some techniques, and decision-making processes play a significant role in many engineering and management problems.  Attain to sure solutions for a problem under accurate consideration is essential.  In this paper, an application of fuzzy inference system for modeling the indeterminacy involved in the problem of HSE risk assessm...

Multi-factor failure mode critically analysis using TOPSIS

The paper presents a multi-factor decision-making approach for prioritizing failure modes as an alternative to traditional approach of failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA). The approach is based on the ‘technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution’ (TOPSIS). The priority ranking is formulated on the basis of six parameters (failure occurrence, non-detection, maintainability...

Failure Mode and Effects Analysis Using Generalized Mixture Operators

Failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) is a method based on teamwork to identify potential failures and problems in a system, design, process and service in order to remove them. The important part of this method is determining the risk priorities of failure modes using the risk priority number (RPN). However, this traditional RPN method has several shortcomings. Therefore, in this paper we p...

Factor Analysis of Risk Variables Affecting Occupational Injuries: A Field Study in Construction Projects

Background and Objective: Approximately, half of the occupational accidents are associated with the construction industry in Iran. Therefore, the factor analysis of risk variables affecting occupational injuries in the construction industry can lead to understanding and reducing the rate of injuries in these projects. The purpose of this study was to identify the risk factors affecting the type...
