Abstract

This study develops a new hybrid multi-criticality approach to enhance the use of the traditional Failure Mode, Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) method. The proposed model is based on replacing the computation of the mono criticality from the conventional method with a fuzzy model providing five criticalities that calculate the failure impact on the personnel, equipment, time, cost, and quality. Furthermore, an analytical hierarchy method (AHP) is adopted to construct a criticality matrix and compute the different weights for each criticality in order to assess the total criticality and effectively improve the prioritization of the failure modes. In addition, a real case study of an auto LPG Dispensing Station is provided to illustrate the factual application of the suggested model and show its pertinence in dealing with a risk evaluation and prioritization of failure mode with handling different forms of uncertainty and divergent judgments of experts.
