BACKGROUND Medical errors are one of the greatest problems in any healthcare systems. The best way to prevent such problems is errors identification and their roots. Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) technique is a prospective risk analysis method. This study is a review of risk analysis using FMEA technique in different hospital wards and departments. METHODS This paper systematically...

Nowadays safety at workstations is so important for managers and they try to ensure that workstations meet minimum requirements. There are some research about using FMEA (Failure mode and effects analysis) to increase the safety at work especially in food industries and hospitals, but all of them have concentrated on safety in special points of view and they are not applicable for all fields. I...

Abstract Failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) is a risk tool widely used in the manufacturing industry. However, traditional FMEA has limitations such as inability to deal with uncertain failure data including subjective evaluations of experts, absence weight values parameters, not considering conditionality between events. In this paper, we propose holistic overcome these limitations. The p...

I. Introduction The reasons for improving the analog and mixed-signal test program set design and Failure Mode Effects Analysis (FMEA) process are well documented [1-7]. For instance, identification of chronic production faults, improved safety and reliability through the analysis of difficult to test failure modes, investigation of circuit failure mechanisms, and excessive part stress could al...

A value/risk -based performance evaluation framework is proposed in the context of manufacturing processes at the industrialization phase of product development. Various risk factors of the manufacturing process are identified through Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) and then embedded in the process plan models. Modelling and simulation are then employed for determining the value a proce...

A qualification strategy for advanced embedded non-volatile memory technology has been revealed. This strategy consists of: thorough understanding of the requirements, extensive use and frequent update of the FMEA (failure mode effect analysis), a qualification plan with excellent coverage of all the iisk areas, implementing effective in-line and off-line measures and control, and check-off of ...

Constructability analysis and the resulting adjustments in facility design have a significant potential in improving cost effectiveness of construction projects. However, traditional constructability knowledge acquisition techniques are the key barrier to successful constructability improvement. A new approach to automated constructability lessons-learned documentation and constructability anal...
