While use of LEDs in fiber optics and lighting applications is common, their use in medical diagnostic applications is very rare. Since the precise value of light intensity will be used to interpret patient results, understanding failure modes is very important. We used the Failure Modes and Effects Criticality Analysis (FMECA) tool to identify the critical LED failure modes. Once the critical ...

Teollisuuden Voima Oy (TVO) operates two nuclear power plant units and has started to build a third one. The current nuclear power units have a continuing need to maintain and update existing instrumentation and parts of their control systems. Each new device shall be classified and qualified according to its safety requirements. Using modern technology means, in practice, that more and more co...

A developing society needs to adapt to change and foster creativity. In the pursuit of continual improvement (e.g., reducing fossil-fuel consumption and waste, better service performance, greater availability and improved reliability), implementing wise maintenanceschedules is essential for contemporary organisations. Several studies of a wide range of Nigerian industries indicate that indigeno...

The concept of applying risk analysis tools such as failure mode, effects, and criticality analysis (FMECA) to the design and development process where human safety is a factor is nothing new to many industries such as nuclear power, aviation, and the automotive industry. Safety and reliability engineers are well versed in the implementation of risk management tools as critical components of ad...

Abstract Around 30–40 years ago, principles and methods were developed to conceptualise, assess manage risk. These are still, a large extent, the foundation of field. Over past decade, many tools have been for risk analysis water systems. Many advances made, both in theoretical platform practical models procedures. Various approaches used identify potential hazards, calculate probability accide...

Integrated Intelligent Equipment Health Management System (IIEHMS) is a systematic engineering design Framework that includes multi-functional disciplines (such as mechanical, electrical, optical and software engineering, quality assurance, and manufacturing) with their partners and suppliers works together to achieve a green topology plant with respect to life cycle cost. The proposed structur...

a r t i c l e i n f o Keywords: Failure mode and effects analysis Data envelopment analysis Overall risks Risk priority ranking Failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) is a method that examines potential failures in products or processes and has been used in many quality management systems. One important issue of FMEA is the determination of the risk priorities of failure modes. In this paper ...
