“…As one of the most promising risk evaluation methods, the failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) method can identify and prioritize potential failure modes in fields whose risk has been assessed to figure out the causes and effects associated with such failure modes. In traditional FMEA, the rank of failure modes usually depends on the value of the risk priority number (RPN), which can be obtained by

, where S denotes the severity of the effect of the failure, O denotes the occurrence probability of the failure, and D denotes the detectability of the failure before its influence occurred [ 3 , 4 ]. In order to implement improvement measures to optimize vehicle design and maintenance effectively, the failure of obtaining a higher value of RPN should be analyzed as a priority.…”

This paper addresses the problem of evaluating vehicle failure modes efficiently during the driving process. Generally, the most critical factors for preventing risk in potential failure modes are identified by the experience of experts through the widely used failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA). However, it has previously been difficult to evaluate the vehicle failure mode with crisp values. In this paper, we propose a novel hybrid scheme based on a cost-based FMEA, fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP), and extended fuzzy multi-objective optimization by ratio analysis plus full multiplicative form (EFMULTIMOORA) to evaluate vehicle failure modes efficiently. Specifically, vehicle failure modes are first screened out by cost-based FMEA according to maintenance information, and then the weights of the three criteria of maintenance time (T), maintenance cost (C), and maintenance benefit (B) are calculated using FAHP and the rankings of failure modes are determined by EFMULTIMOORA. Different from existing schemes, the EFMULTIMOORA in our proposed hybrid scheme calculates the ranking of vehicle failure modes based on three new risk factors (T, C, and B) through fuzzy linguistic terms for order preference. Furthermore, the applicability of the proposed hybrid scheme is presented by conducting a case study involving vehicle failure modes of one common vehicle type (Hyundai), and a sensitivity analysis and comparisons are conducted to validate the effectiveness of the obtained results. In summary, our numerical analyses indicate that the proposed method can effectively help enterprises and researchers in the risk evaluation and the identification of critical vehicle failure modes.

“…Risk management is a process by which organizations identify potential risks in advance, analyse them, and take precautionary steps to reduce them (International Organization for Standardization, 2009 ). Efficient risk management not only protects the organization’s finances, but also protects intangible assets such as reputation and standing in the community, and more importantly, sustains high levels of care quality and ensures the safety of consumers from accidental injuries (Capasso et al, 2019 ; Liu, 2019 ; Streimelweger et al, 2020 ).…”

Background With adverse events and injuries recurring in residential aged care facilities (RACFs), older adults’ safety in residential age care settings has attracted extensive attention from governments, researchers, and healthcare providers. Risk management is of utmost importance in reducing risks and improving the quality of care for older adults in long-term care. Although previous studies have made great efforts to explore risk management methods and technologies in RACFs, little is known about how managers identify and respond to risks in practice. Purpose This qualitative study aimed to elucidate the perceptions and experiences of managers involved in risk management in RACFs in China. Participants and methods This study used a phenomenological research design. We conducted semi-structured interviews with 13 managers across 11 RACFs in Changsha City, Hunan Province, China. Data were analysed using Colaizzi’s seven steps and NVivo 12 plus software. Results “Facilitation of an error-free culture” emerged as a central theme of managers’ perceptions of risk management. Four sub-themes were revealed, namely “creating an age-friendly physical environment,” “paying close attention to frail older adults,” “improving the competence of nursing staff,” and “building effective management programs.” Conclusion Facilitation of an error-free culture was of prime importance in risk management. Managers’ experiences can help RACFs to better manage risks, as well as provide new perspectives and approaches for RACFs to improve the quality and outcomes of care. This study developed initiatives for improving resident safety in RACFs and may foster interest in the developing these initiatives.

“…Failure Modes and Effect Analysis (FMEA) is a systematic tool to identify the potential failures, causes and effects of failures, and provide preventive actions [ 9 , 10 ]. Therefore, it is an appropriate approach to use in the health-care field [ 11 – 13 ] and recognize possible failure modes in the MEs process [ 14 , 15 ]. Based on the FMEA method, the risk priorities of the failure modes are specified through the Risk Priority Number (RPN) value.…”

Medication Errors (MEs) are still significant challenges, especially in nonautomated health systems. Qualitative studies are mostly used to identify the parameters involved in MEs. Failing to provide accurate information in expert-based decisions can provoke unrealistic results and inappropriate corrective actions eventually. However, mostly, some levels of uncertainty accompany the decisions in real practice. This study tries to present a hybrid decision-making approach to assigning different weights to risk factors and considering the uncertainty in the ranking process in the Failure Modes and Effect Analysis (FMEA) technique. Initially, significant MEs are identified by three groups of qualified experts (doctors, nurses, and pharmacists). Afterward, for assigning weights to the risk factors, Z-number couples with the Stepwise Weight Assessment Ratio Analysis (SWARA) method, named Z-SWARA, to add reliability concept in the decision-making process. Finally, the identified MEs are ranked through the developed Weighted Aggregated Sum Product Assessment (WASPAS) method, namely, Z-WASPAS. To demonstrate the applicability of the proposed approach, the ranking results compare with typical methods, such as fuzzy-WASPAS and FMEA. The findings of the present study highlight improper medication administration as the main failure mode, which can result in a fatality or patient injury. Moreover, the utilization of multiple-criteria decision-making methods in combination with Z-number can be a useful tool in the healthcare management field since it can address the problems by considering reliability and uncertainty simultaneously.
