Application of Improved Failure Modes and Effects Analysis in Product Reliability Analysis

Article Preview

Abstract:

On the analysis of the disadvantage of traditional Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA), an improved FMEA based on fuzzy set theory and Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) is proposed. In this method, the fuzzy language set and the fuzzy number of Severity (S), Occurrence (O) and Detection (D) are firstly set up, then failure modes are evaluated, and finally the weights of S, O and D are determined by AHP. So, risk priorities of the failure modes can be determined by calculating the modified Risk Priority Number (RPN). Improved FMEA could provide a method for the company to evaluate the reliability analysis of products.
