A Single Input Rule Modules Connected Fuzzy FMEA Methodology for Edible Bird Nest Processing
نویسندگان
چکیده
Despite of the popularity of the fuzzy Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) methodology, there are several limitations in combining the Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) and the Risk Priority Number (RPN) model. Two main limitations are: (1) it is difficult and impractical to form a complete fuzzy rule base when the number of required rules is large; and (2) fulfillment of the monotonicity property is a difficult problem. In this paper, a new fuzzy FMEA methodology with a zero-order Single Input Rule Modules (SIRMs) connected FIS-based RPN model is proposed. An SIRMs connected FIS is adopted as an alternative to the traditional FIS to reduce the number of fuzzy rules required in the modeling process. To preserve the monotonicity property of the SIRMs-connected FIS-based RPN model, a number of theorems in the literature are simplified and adopted as the governing equations for the proposed fuzzy FMEA methodology. A case study relating to edible bird nest (EBN) processing in Sarawak (together with Sabah, known as the world’s number two source area of bird nest after Indonesia) is reported. In short, the findings in this paper contribute towards building a new fuzzy FMEA methodology using the SIRMs-connected FIS-based RPN model. Besides that, the usefulness of the simplified theorems in a practical FMEA application is demonstrated.

Learning Algorithms for Fuzzy Inference Systems Composed of Double- and Single-Input Rule Modules
Most of self-tuning fuzzy systems, which are automatically constructed from learning data, are based on the steepest descent method (SDM). However, this approach often requires a large convergence time and gets stuck into a shallow local minimum. One of its solutions is to use fuzzy rule modules with a small number of inputs such as DIRMs (Double-Input Rule Modules) and SIRMs (Single-Input Rule...
