“…In this matrix, values of assessments were expressed on an ordinal scale, which corresponded to the values in the fuzzy matrix

. The purpose was to unify the scale for all indicators (P, W, Q, and E) to an ordinal scale from 1 to 10, to determine a risk priority value (RQE) according to the traditional methodology of the FMEA method [ 2 , 13 , 16 , 45 ]. The developed matrix of selected qualitative-environmental indicators for the Fuzzy QE-FMEA method is shown in Table 8 .…”

“…Therefore, companies should use techniques that will support their analysis and, consequently, elimination. One of the most popular uses for analysing products or industrial processes is the FMEA method (Failure Mode and Effect Analysis) [ 13 , 14 , 15 ], so the technique of systematic process to identify potential failures and the causes and effects of their occurrence to limit and eliminate them. The FMEA method comes from the automotive industry, but it is applicable at various stages of the life of any product or process.…”

Improving products and production processes is necessary to ensure the competitiveness of the organisation. As part of these improvements, the popular approach is to use the FMEA method (Failure Mode and Effect Analysis). In the traditional FMEA approach, only the qualitative aspect is included, i.e., the analysis of the quality level of products or processes, its possible incompatibilities, and then proposing improving actions for them. It seems insufficient in times of expansion of the idea of sustainable development and dynamically changing customer requirements. Hence, the purpose of the research is to develop a fuzzy QE-FMEA method to simultaneously analyze hazards for product quality and the natural environment. This method will be based on a fuzzy decision environment. The main elements of originality of the developed method are: (i) extension of the characteristics of the selection of ratings for indicators with triangular fuzzy numbers and the development of a new characteristics of the selection of ratings for the environmental impact indicator, (ii) development of a selection matrix for the qualitative-environmental indicator (QE) according to the rules of triangular fuzzy numbers, (iii) determination of the method of estimating the value of the threat priority, additionally considering the qualitative-environmental indicator (RQE). The complement of research is developed procedure of the Fuzzy QE-FMEA method. It was shown that it is possible to include the effects of incompatibilities (effects of defects occurring in products or processes), which were simultaneously assessed considering the importance and impact on the natural environment. This method will be useful for any company for analysing defects of any products or processes mainly with significant impact on the natural environment.

“…Many researchers have extended FMEA to detect possible failures and analyze their environmental loads; this extension is called environment failure mode and effect analysis (EFMEA). These methods evaluate the environmental loads caused by product and/or process failures from the viewpoints of greenhouse gas emissions (Bayat, Farnood Ahmadi, & Ardeshir, 2018; Ćirović, 2018), waste (Bayat et al., 2018; Foroozesh, Tavakkoli‐Moghaddam, & Meysam Mousavi, 2017; Kokangül, Polat, & Dağsuyu, 2018; Saadi, Djebabra, & Boulagouas, 2017; Salati & Jozi, 2012), pollution (Foroozesh et al., 2017; Jozi & Salati, 2012; Makajic‐Nikolic, Petrovic, Cirovic, Vujosevic, & Presburger‐Ulnikovic, 2016; Saadi et al., 2017; Salati & Jozi, 2012), energy consumption (Foroozesh et al., 2017), and recycling potential (Salati & Jozi, 2012). Lindahl and Tingström (2001) introduced other criteria, such as environmental policy or law, extent and time range of environmental effects, and improvement possibility.…”

Recently, a circular economy has attracted global attention as an approach for addressing material security and resource‐efficiency issues. As our societies shift toward a circular economy, manufacturers need to not only produce environmentally conscious products but to also realize reliable systems that will ensure the closure of the loops of the products, components, and materials. To do so, early‐stage design is crucial to effectively and efficiently detect possible failures and then take adequate countermeasures against them. Although a few methods of failure analysis have been proposed to address environmental issues, these methods have failed to consider the cause–effect relationships among failures. This will hinder manufacturers from identifying core problems that should be addressed in a given system. Therefore, this study extends failure mode and effect analysis, which is an engineering technique used to address potential failures, by addressing the entire system reliability in relation to circularity. As a result of a case study of a manufacturer aiming to increase circularity with their products on the market, we revealed that the proposed method is useful in the early stage of design to (a) identify failure modes where effects are largely given to or received from other failures, (b) develop countermeasures effectively by addressing root causes of failures, and (c) find an opportunity to collaborate with external actors.

“…While determining environmental aspects, field observations, surveys and environmental records should be taken into account. Issues such as emissions, waste and waste management, resource use, working with chemicals, and environmental noise are very important from an environmental point of view (Kokangül et al, 2018). The studies conducted in the literature on the determination of environmental impacts were also examined in this study.…”

Environmental Management System (EMS) studies conducted today are activities where enterprises plan, implement, control and monitor measures related to their activities that can impact the environment, and systematically and sustainably carry out activities aimed at preserving the environment. Given the limited resources of enterprises such as workforce, money, time, machinery and equipment, it is important for enterprises to prioritize their activities so that EMS's work effectively. In this study, a list of environmental activities was primarily established with the aim of determining the EMS activities to be undertaken by enterprises or evaluating existing environmental activities. An approach for determining prioritized activities was developed from the created activity list according to the evaluation criteria appropriate to the operating conditions of enterprises.
