چکیده
Service companies must be able to face the challenge to offer error-free services to their customers. According to Service definition, the customer is always present during the processes and delivery of the service . If something goes wrong it will happen in the presence of the customer . This article shows the use of FMEA as a prevention tool in the services offered by a Medical Clinic restaurant. A group of employees was trained in prevention tools, they designed the process map, identified the critical points and applied the FMEA method in order do prevent any failure during the services operation. The first results indicated that all the actions implemented were really effective in preventing errors.

The failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) is a widely used analytical technique that helps to identify and reduce the risks of failure in a system, component, or process. One important issue of FMEA is the determination of the risk priorities of failure modes. Risk ranking is produced in order to prioritize the focus on each of the failure modes that are identified. In this study, we applied...

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...

In any organization, the importance of failuremanagement cannot bementionedby a single word. However,most failure analysis is dominated by themanufacturing sector, despite the increasing importance of the service sector. In response, this paper proposes a systematic approach for identifying and evaluating potential failures using a service-specific failure mode and effect analysis (service-spec...
متن کاملService-Oriented FMEA and Grey Relational Analysis Based Approach to Service Reliability Assessment
Abstract Failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) is a systematic approach for identifying potential failures before they occur, with the intent to minimize the risk associated with them. It has been widely used in the various manufacturing industries as a solution to reliability problems. As the importance of the service sector is increasing, however, it has been recently extended to some appli...
