...Hai Thanh Pham; Huy Truong Quang; Paulo Sampaio; Maria Carvalho; Duy Le Anh Tran; Vinh Xuan Vo; Binh An Thi Duong Purpose This paper aims to identify and assess global risks in the supply chain performance. Design/methodology/approach First, global risks are identified and classified according...

...Ali Karevan; Kong Fah Tee; Mohammadreza Vasili Purpose This study presents a reliability-based and sustainability-informed maintenance optimization model for telecommunications equipment. It considers several risk attributes associated with sustainability dimensions (i.e. social, economic...

...Dilbagh Panchal; Sachin Kumar Mangla; Mohit Tyagi; Mangey Ram Purpose The purpose of this paper is to develop a fuzzy methodology approaches based framework for carrying the risk analysis of a real industrial system of a urea fertilizer industry located in northern part of India. Design...

... of the risks of potential causes of production system failures. By providing an illustrative example, it highlights the advantages of this flexible system over the traditional FMEA model. Finally, a fuzzy decision model is proposed, which improves the initial decision system by introducing the element...

...Nune Ravi Sankar; Bantwal S. Prabhu Describes a new technique for prioritizing failures for corrective actions in failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA). This technique extends the risk prioritization beyond the conventional risk priority number (RPN) method. A new scale has been defined...

... will be considered. Next, it will be explained what opportunities for improvement of reliability control in the design process at PEI‐CED were detected. A risk analysis, aimed at identifying reliability risks and analysing them, will be the basis for the reliability tests that will be elaborated next. © MCB UP...

... and the Kegworth air disaster. In the vast majority of these accidents, human error has played a critical role in the events precipitating the accident. Such accidents can in theory be predicted and prevented by risk assessment,in particular assessing the human contribution to risk. However, the collection...

...Warren Gilchrist Presents a critical review of the method of FMEA and in particular of the risk priority number (RPN) used for ranking failure modes. Though the method itself is of great use, the calculation of the RPN lacks a proper model as a base and is thus internally inconsistent...

...Zoe Nivolianitou There is a growing need for safety analysis of chemical processes. Risk analysis techniques capable of evaluating dangerous transient conditions together with the reliability of the protective systems need to be devised. Analyses a flash separator used for the raw separation...

...T.F. Bott The results of a study of the reliability of the Los Alamos National Laboratory electrical system are discussed and an assessment of the risk arising from power interruptions is made. The study was intended to provide a current status of the system and to rank modifications to improve...

...C. Raju A procedure for designing chain sampling plans, ChSP‐1, is described for situations where one of the parameters, the sample size, is fixed. The procedure involves minimisation of the sum of the producer′s risk and consumer′s risk with due weights. Expressions have been derived under...
