“…Chang, Wei, and Lee (1999) used fuzzy linguistic terms such as Very Low, Low, Moderate, High and Very high to evaluate O, S and D, and utilized grey relational analysis to determine the risk priorities of potential causes. Garcia, Schirru, Frutuoso, and Melo (2005) presented a fuzzy data envelopment analysis (DEA) approach for FMEA in which typical risk factors O, S, and D were modeled as fuzzy sets, and the fuzzy possibility DEA model developed by Lertworasirikul, Fang, Joines, and Nuttle (2003) was used for determining the ranking indices among failure modes. The proposed approach was applied to a pressurized water reactor (PWR) auxiliary feed-water system.…”
