FMEA Using Cloud Model and PROMETHEE Method and Its Application to Emergency Department

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

In this paper, we explore two key issues inherent to the FMEA practice: the representation of diversified risk assessments of FMEA team members and the determination of priority ranking of failure modes. Specifically, a framework integrating cloud model, a new cognitive model for coping with fuzziness and randomness, and preference ranking organization method for enrichment evaluation (PROMETHEE) method, a powerful and flexible outranking decision-making method, is developed for managing the group behaviors in FMEA.
