Analytic hierarchy process Failure mode and effect analysis Risk priority number Stainless tankThis study aims to evaluate the hazards of the stainless tank production process in a company by using the Integrated Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) methods. First, the hazards in the stainless tank production process were identified. Identified hazards were assessed with the FMEA method to calculate Risk Priority Number (RPN) for each hazard. The same hazards were then weighted by using the AHP method. Finally, AHP and FMEA are integrated to achieve a more objective result by using two subjective methods. According to the integrated method results, risks have been prioritized and an objective ranking has been established for action plans.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
