Optimization of Effects of FMEA to Enhance Quality and Efficiency of CNC Machines in Valve Manufacturing Industry
Abstract: Failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) is a systematic method for identification and preventing problems of products and process before its occurrence. FMEA focus on preventing defects, enhancing safety and increasing customer satisfaction. The FMEA needs to define parameters such as Severity (S), Occurrence (O), Detection (D) and Risk Priority Number (RPN). The conventional FMEA and grey relational analysis approaches are applied in this work. The rankings of the failure …
