| description abstract | In view of the shortcomings of traditional failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) in risk evaluation language, weight information, risk priority number (RPN), this paper proposes an FMEA optimization method. First, using the Pythagorean fuzzy language as the evaluation language, the hesitation psychology of the evaluator is truly reflected. Then, the best worst method (BWM) is used to calculate the weight of the evaluator, it can reduce the number of pairwise comparison evaluations. Second, water filling theory (WFT) uses mean values instead of extreme values to determine the discreteness of evaluation information, which is more consistent with FMEA. Therefore, WFT is used to calculate the weight of influencing factors. Finally, the tomada de-decisao iterativa multicriterio (TODIM) method is used for compromise calculation to obtain the risk ranking of failure modes. Compared with RPN, TODIM can avoid the situation that the failure mode scores are the same. At the end of the paper, the robustness and superiority of the new method are verified by taking the reliability assessment of reversing system of industrial robots as an example. | |
