Failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) is one of the most widely employed pre-evaluation techniques to avoid risks during product design manufacturing phases. Risk priority number (RPN), a risk assessment indicator used in FMEA, field due its simple calculation process, but limitations as an absolute have been pointed out. There has also criticism unstructured nature lack systematicity FMEA pr...

Increasingly complex systems lead to an interweaving of security, safety, availability and reliability concerns. Most dependability analysis techniques do not include security aspects. In order to include security, a holistic risk model for systems is needed. In our novel approach, the basic failure cause, failure mode and failure effect model known from FMEA is used as a template for a vulnera...

The paper aims to introduce an approach that integrates a technique of knowledge engineering (Ontologies) and a technique of quality engineering (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis). An approach will be set up that shows the potentials of combining IT-based systems of knowledge and quality engineering. Particularly with regard to the quality engineering technique, the paper aims to demonstrate t...

Technical systems are prevalent in many areas of our society. Nowadays they often include a considerable amount of software. Identification and avoidance of technical risks is of major importance in the development of these softwareintensive technical systems. A powerful analysis technique in the development process for technical systems is the Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA). This tec...

This article aims to show few advanced approach method for improving Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA). The possible failure situations in the system design are investigated separately considered a Hierarchical FMEA worksheet form. authors propose three different methodological methods based on hybridized fuzzy logic FMEA.

In this paper, the reliability of a collective robotic system is analysed using two different techniques from the field of reliability engineering. The techniques, Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) and Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), are used to analyse and compare two variants of a previously developed ‘autonomous morphogenesis’ controller. The reliability of the controller is discussed and a...

Preventive methods are seldom used in logistics, although there is increasing awareness of their potential. This paper presents two examples of preventive methods currently in use, Poka-Yoke and FMEA (Failure Mode and Effect Analysis). The implementation of Poka-Yoke, the mistake proofing methodology, has been shown to drastically reduce the enormous warranty costs, including logistics costs, w...

Failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) has been used to identify the critical risk events and predict a system failure to avoid or reduce the potential failure modes and their effect on operations. The risk priority number (RPN) is the classical method to evaluate the risk of failure in conventional FMEA. RPN, which ranges from 1 to 1000, is a mathematical product of three parameters—severit...

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...
