“…In fulfilling the above requirement, the decision support model of FMEA (failure mode and effect analysis) for evaluating the criticality of lean waste risk has been modified to fit with specific requirements such as dealing with risk reprioritization of lean waste. Due to the limitations on using the risk priority number (RPN) in conventional FMEA, many investigative efforts by using various risk reprioritization models have been proposed by Shahin (2004), Dong (2007), Ahsen (2008), Sellapan and Palanikumar (2013), Liu et al (2015a), Nguyen et al (2016) and applied at various application settings such as waste stream analysis (Sherwood and Shu, 2000), transportation service (Jegadeshan et al, 2007), health-care delivery process (Barends et al, 2012), manufacturing (Sawhney et al, 2010;Khorsidhi et al, 2016;De Souza and Carpinetti, 2014;Loli et al, 2016), supplier selection (Chen and Wu, 2013), maintenance (Srivastava and Mondal, 2014;Selim et al, 2015) and electricity generating service (Sutrisno et al, 2015).…”
