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...

Failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) is a reliability method that all possible failure modes for each product in system of on the system, to classify propose solutions preventative measures. It undeniable traditional FMEA has been widely criticized its simple scoring single algorithm. To improve usability FMEA, hesitation fuzzy preference relation sets (HFPRs) based hesitant have introduced...

BACKGROUND Failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) is a risk management tool to proactively identify and assess the causes and effects of potential failures in a system, thereby preventing them from happening. The objective of this study was to evaluate effectiveness of FMEA applied to an academic clinical trial center in a tertiary care setting. METHODS A multidisciplinary FMEA focus group ...

Power network stability requires a timely failure detection and operator reaction. The protection devices and operators have responsibilities for the failure detection in a power system. In other words, alarms being received from the protection devices are displayed to the operator by SCADA to respond to the respective appropriate and timely actions to be done. This article is a part of a risk ...

PURPOSE To report our early experiences with failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) in a community practice setting. METHODS The FMEA facilitator received extensive training at the AAPM Summer School. Early efforts focused on department education and emphasized the need for process evaluation in the context of high profile radiation therapy accidents. A multidisciplinary team was assembled ...
