every year, many accidents leading to physical injuries in kindergartens, indicates that a very large percentage of them are related to the safety concerns and lack of hygiene in these places. families, due to their busy life style and working hours and also children needs of preschool education, are searching to find most suitable kindergartens for their children. selecting a kindergarten with...

This paper presents an industrial application of “Dysfunction Mode and Effects Critical Analysis” (DMECA) to determine and analyze possible dysfunctions in a complex management process. The approach conceptually derived from the Failure Mode and Effect Critical Analysis (FMECA) technique. DMECA enables user to analyze all possible dysfunctions of management processes, identify the subsequent ef...

the need to establish power plants to supply the required electricity of the country has been rising due to increasing demand levels as well as the lack of governmental resources. furthermore, the available traditional attitude in performing and conducting power plant projects has made government seek a modern attitude. this paper tries to use the topics that have been employed in automotive in...

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...

An ontology for representing operating, safety and control procedures is proposed in this paper that supports diagnosis based on following these procedures and combining observed malfunctions with Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) information. The procedure ontology is defined within interconnected components of the process plant, diagnostic analysis (where the FMEA is described) and pro...

failure mode and effects analysis (fmea) is a method based on teamwork to identify potential failures and problems in a system, design, process and service in order to remove them. the important part of this method is determining the risk priorities of failure modes using the risk priority number (rpn). however, this traditional rpn method has several shortcomings. therefore, in this paper we p...
