The growing competitiveness in the automotive industry and strict standards to which it is subject, require high quality standards. For this, tools such as failure mode effects analysis (FMEA) are applied quantify risk of potential modes. However, for qualitative defects with subjectivity associated uncertainty, lack specialized technicians, revealed inefficiency visual inspection process, well...

OBJECTIVES A set of standard processes was developed for delivering continuous drug infusions in order to improve (1) patient safety; (2) efficiency in staff workflow; (3) hemodynamic stability during infusion changes, and (4) efficient use of resources. Failure modes effects analysis (FMEA) was used to examine the impact of process changes on the reliability of delivering drug infusions. SET...

Risk management is one of the most important phases of project management and isthe most recently used by many researchers. In this paper, a fuzzy based method wasproposed which identifies different kinds of risks through the project life cycle.Then, the project risk magnitude can be obtained in regards to five factors, namely“severity”, “occurrence”, and “not detection” which form fuzzy FMEA a...

The COVID-19 pandemic broke out and the global logistics industry suffered severe losses; therefore, Fuzzy FMEA-AHP (Fuzzy Failure Mode Effects Analysis-Analytic Hierarchy Process) method is proposed to analyze failure reasons of system in pandemic. In this article, we have made an optimization on basis FMEA method: fuzzy integrated into algorithm, referred as F-RPWN (fuzzy risk priority-weight...

This paper presents a nuclear case study, in which a fuzzy inference system (FIS) is used as alternative approach in risk analysis. The main objective of this study is to obtain an understanding of the aging process of an important nuclear power system and how it affects the overall plant safety. This approach uses the concept of a pure fuzzy logic system where the fuzzy rule base consists of a...

The investigations for diagnosis and severity of OSA in Thai population need RDI from the PSG in sleep laboratory. The current problems of Thailand are firstly, inadequate sleep specialist and experienced technician: secondly, inadequate sleep laboratory result in long queue of appointments for sleep study. The authors proposed the new application for solving problem and developing to prioritiz...

this paper develops an operational perspective of supply chain sustainability, by considering it as a risk management process. it explores the nature of sustainability-related supply chain risks, distinguishes them from typical supply chain risks and develops an analytical process for their management. an empirical study is conducted to generate insights about how sustainability-related risks s...

abstract this author introduces the concept of stepwise strategy approach (ssa) for dealing with a number of problems arises in the current age of technology. this new idea is combined with the knowledge of grey theory for adding flexibility to decision making process. grey theory is useful for grasping the ambiguity exists in the utilized information and the fuzziness appears in the human judg...
